EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the nine months since the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
(“EESA”) authorized creation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), the
U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) has created 12 separate programs
involving Government and private funds of up to almost $3 trillion. From pro-
grams involving large capital infusions into hundreds of banks and other financial
institutions, to a mortgage modification program designed to modify millions of
mortgages, to public-private partnerships using tens of billions of taxpayer dol-
lars to purchase “toxic” assets from banks, TARP has evolved into a program of
unprecedented scope, scale, and complexity. Moreover, TARP does not function
in a vacuum but is rather part of the broader Government efforts to stabilize the
financial system, an effort that includes dozens of inter-related programs operated
by multiple Federal agencies. Thus, before the American people and their repre-
sentatives in Congress can meaningfully evaluate the effectiveness of TARP, not
only must the TARP programs themselves be understood, but also TARP’s scope
and scale must be placed into proper context with the other Government programs
designed to support the financial system. That is one of the ambitious goals of this
report.
In this report, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled
Asset Relief Program (“SIGTARP”) endeavors to (i) explain the various TARP
programs and how Treasury has used those programs through June 30, 2009, (ii)
provide a brief explanation of the numerous other Government programs that have
been implemented by Treasury and other Federal agencies to support the financial
and mortgage markets; (iii) describe what SIGTARP has done to oversee the vari-
ous TARP programs since its April Quarterly Report to Congress, dated April 21,
2009 (the “April Quarterly Report”), and (iv) set forth a series of recommendations
for the operation of TARP.

TARP IN FOCUS, AND IN CONTEXT


TARP, as originally envisioned in the fall of 2008, would have involved the pur-
chase, management, and sale of up to $700 billion of “toxic” assets, primarily
troubled mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). That framework was
soon shelved, however, and TARP funds are being used, or have been announced
to be used, in connection with 12 separate programs that, as set forth in Table 1
on the next page, involve a total (including TARP funds, loans and guarantees from
other agencies, and private money) that could reach nearly $3 trillion. Through
June 30, 2009, Treasury has announced the parameters of how $643.1 billion of
the $700 billion would be spent through the 12 programs. Of the $643.1 billion
that Treasury has committed, $441 billion has actually been spent.
As massive and as important as TARP is on its own, it is just one part of a much
broader Federal Government effort to stabilize and support the financial system.
Since the onset of the financial crisis in 2007, the Federal Government, through
4 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

many agencies, has implemented dozens of programs that are broadly designed to
support the economy and financial system. As detailed in Section 3 of this report,
the total potential Federal Government support could reach up to $23.7 trillion.
Any assessment of the effectiveness or the cost of TARP should be made in the
context of these broader efforts. Section 3 also provides a tutorial on the Federal
Reserve System, which administers many of the non-TARP credit and liquidity
facilities that are providing support to the financial system.

OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES OF SIGTARP

Since the April Quarterly Report, SIGTARP has been actively engaged in fulfill-
ing its vital investigative and audit functions as well as in building its staff and
organization.
SIGTARP’s Investigations Division has developed rapidly and is quickly be-
coming a sophisticated white-collar investigative agency. Through June 30, 2009,
SIGTARP has 35 ongoing criminal and civil investigations. These investigations
include complex issues concerning suspected accounting fraud, securities fraud,
insider trading, mortgage servicer misconduct, mortgage fraud, public corruption,
false statements, and tax investigations. Two of SIGTARP’s investigations have
recently become public:

• Federal Felony Charges Against Gordon Grigg: On April 23, 2009, Federal
felony charges were filed against Gordon B. Grigg in the U.S. District Court for
the Middle District of Tennessee, charging him with four counts of mail fraud
and four counts of wire fraud. The charges are based on Grigg’s role in embez-
zling approximately $11 million in client investment funds that he garnered
through false claims, including that he had invested $5 million in pooled client
funds toward the purchase of the TARP-guaranteed debt. Grigg pleaded guilty
to all charges and is scheduled for sentencing on August 6, 2009.
• FTC Action Against Misleading Use of “MakingHomeAffordable.gov”: On
May 15, 2009, based upon an action brought by the Federal Trade Commission
(“FTC”), a Federal district court issued an order to stop an Internet-based opera-
tion that pretended to operate “MakingHomeAffordable.gov,” the official website
of the Federal Making Home Affordable program. According to the FTC’s com-
plaint, the defendants purchased sponsored links as advertising on the results
pages of Internet search engines, and, when consumers searched for “making
home affordable” or similar search terms, the defendants’ ads prominently and
conspicuously displayed “MakingHomeAffordable.gov.” Consumers who clicked
on this link were not directed to the official website, but were diverted to sites
that solicit applicants for paid loan modification services. The operators of these
websites either purport to offer loan modification services themselves or sold
the victims’ personally identifying information to others. SIGTARP is providing
assistance to FTC during the investigation.

More than 50% of SIGTARP’s ongoing investigations were developed in whole


or in part through tips or leads provided on SIGTARP’s Hotline (877-SIG-2009
or accessible at www.SIGTARP.gov). Over the past quarter, the SIGTARP Hotline
received and analyzed more than 3,200 tips, running the gamut from expressions of
concern over the economy to serious allegations of fraud.
SIGTARP remains committed to being proactive in dealing with potential fraud
in TARP. For example, the previously announced TALF Task Force, which was
6 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

organized by SIGTARP to get out in front of any efforts to profit criminally from
the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”), has been expanded to
cover the Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”). In addition to SIGTARP,
the TALF-PPIP Task Force consists of the Inspector General of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
On the audit side, SIGTARP is in the process of completing its first round of
audits. SIGTARP will be issuing, at about the time of this report, its first formal
audit report concerning how recipients of Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) funds
reported their use of such funds. In February 2009, SIGTARP sent survey letters to
more than 360 financial and other institutions that had completed TARP funding
agreements through January 2009. Although most banks reported they did not seg-
regate or track TARP fund usage on a dollar-for-dollar basis, most banks were able
to provide insights into their actual or planned future use of TARP funds. For some
respondents the infusion of TARP funds helped to avoid a “managed” reduction of
their activities; others reported that their lending activities would have come to a
standstill without TARP funds; and others explained that they used TARP funds to
acquire other institutions, invest in securities, pay off debts, or that they retained
the funds to serve as a cushion against future losses. Many survey responses also
highlighted the importance of the TARP funds to the bank’s capital base, and
by extension, the impact of the funds on lending. In light of the audit findings,
SIGTARP renews its recommendation that the Secretary of the Treasury require all
TARP recipients to submit periodic reports to Treasury on their use of TARP funds.
SIGTARP also has audits nearing completion examining the following issues:
executive compensation restriction compliance, controls over external influences
on the CPP application process, selection of the first nine participants for funds
under CPP (with a particular emphasis on Bank of America), AIG bonuses, and
AIG counterparty payments. In addition, SIGTARP is undertaking a series of new
audits, as follows:

• CPP Warrant Valuation and Disposition Process: The audit will seek to
determine (i) the extent to which financial institutions have repaid Treasury’s
investment under CPP and the extent to which the warrants associated with that
process were repurchased or sold; and (ii) what process and procedures Treasury
has established to ensure the Government receives fair market value for the war-
rants and the extent to which Treasury follows a clear, consistent, and objective
process in reaching decisions where differing valuations of warrants exist. This
audit complements a July 10, 2009, report by the Congressional Oversight Panel
examining the warrant valuation process.
• Follow-up Assessment of Use of Funds by TARP Recipients: This audit will
examine use of funds by recipients receiving extraordinary assistance under the
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 7

Systemically Significant Failing Institutions program, the Automotive Industry


Financing Program, as well as insurance companies receiving assistance under
CPP.
• Governance Issues Where U.S. Holds Large Ownership Interests: The audit,
being conducted at the request of Senator Max Baucus, will examine governance
issues when the U.S. Government has obtained a large ownership interest in a
particular institution, including: (i) What is the extent of Government involve-
ment in management of companies in which it has made sizeable investments,
including direction and control over such elements as governance, compensa-
tion, spending, and other corporate decision making? (ii) To what extent are
effective risk management, internal controls, and monitoring in place to protect
and balance the Government’s interests and corporate needs? (iii) Are there per-
formance measures in place that can be used to track progress against long-term
goals and timeframes affecting the Government’s ability to wind down its invest-
ments and disengage from these companies? (iv) Is there adequate transparency
to support decision making and to provide full disclosure to the Congress and the
public?
• Status of the Government’s Asset Guarantee Program with Citigroup: The
audit examining the Government’s Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”) with
Citigroup, based upon a request by Representative Alan Grayson, will address a
series of questions about the Government’s guarantee of certain Citigroup assets
through the AGP such as: (i) How was the program for Citigroup developed? (ii)
What are the current cash flows from the affected assets? and (iii) What are the
potential for losses to Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and
the Federal Reserve under the program?
• Making Home Affordable Mortgage Modification Program: This audit will
examine the Making Home Affordable mortgage modification program to assess
the status of the program, the effectiveness of outreach efforts, capabilities of
loan servicers to provide services to eligible recipients, and challenges confront-
ing the program as it goes forward.

SIGTARP’S RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE OPERATION OF TARP


One of SIGTARP’s oversight responsibilities is to provide recommendations to
Treasury so that TARP programs can be designed or modified to facilitate effective
oversight and transparency and to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. In Section 5 of
this report, SIGTARP details ongoing recommendations concerning PPIP, TALF,
and tracking use of funds and provides an update on the implementation of recom-
mendations made in previous reports. Two categories of recommendation are worth
highlighting at the outset:

Transparency in TARP Programs


Although Treasury has taken some steps towards improving transparency in TARP
programs, it has repeatedly failed to adopt recommendations that SIGTARP
8 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

believes are essential to providing basic transparency and fulfill Treasury’s stated
commitment to implement TARP “with the highest degree of accountability and
transparency possible.” With one new recommendation made in this report, there
are at least four such unadopted recommendations:

• Use of Funds Generally: One of SIGTARP’s first recommendations was


that Treasury require all TARP recipients to report on the actual use of TARP
funds. Other than in a few agreements (with Citigroup, Bank of America, and
AIG), Treasury has declined to adopt this recommendation, calling any such
reporting “meaningless” in light of the inherent fungibility of money. SIGTARP
continues to believe that banks can provide meaningful information about
what they are doing with TARP funds — in particular what activities they
would not have been able to do but for the infusion of TARP funds. That belief
has been supported by SIGTARP’s first audit, in which nearly all banks were
able to provide such information.
• Valuation of the TARP Portfolio: SIGTARP has recommended that Treasury
begin reporting on the values of its TARP portfolio so that taxpayers can get
regular updates on the financial performance of their TARP investments.
Notwithstanding that Treasury has now retained asset managers and is receiv-
ing such valuation data on a monthly basis, Treasury has not committed to
providing such information except on the statutorily required annual basis.
• Disclosure of TALF Borrowers Upon Surrender of Collateral: In TALF,
the loans are non-recourse, that is, the lender (Federal Reserve Bank of New
York) will have no recourse against the borrower beyond taking possession of
the posted collateral (consisting of asset-backed securities (“ABS”)). Under the
program, should such a collateral surrender occur, TARP funds will be used
to purchase the surrendered collateral. In light of this use of TARP funds,
SIGTARP has recommended that Treasury and the Federal Reserve disclose
the identity of any TALF borrowers that fail to repay the TALF loan and must
surrender the ABS collateral.
• Regular Disclosure of PPIF Activity, Holdings, and Valuation: In the PPIP
Legacy Securities Program, the taxpayer will be providing a substantial portion
of the funds (contributing both equity and lending) that will be used to pur-
chase toxic assets in the Public-Private Investment Funds (“PPIFs”). SIGTARP
is recommending that all trading activity, holdings, and valuations of assets of
the PPIFs be disclosed on a timely basis. Not only should this disclosure be re-
quired as a matter of basic transparency in light of the billions of taxpayer dol-
lars at stake, but such disclosure would also serve well one of Treasury’s stated
reasons for the program in the first instance: the promotion of “price discovery”
in the illiquid market for MBS. Treasury has indicated that it will not require
such disclosure.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 9

Although SIGTARP understands Treasury’s need to balance the public’s trans-


parency interests, on one hand, with the interests of the participants and the desire
to have wide participation in the programs, on the other, Treasury’s default position
should always be to require more disclosure rather than less and to provide the
investors in TARP — the American taxpayers — as much information about what
is being done with their money as possible. Unfortunately, in rejecting SIGTARP’s
basic transparency recommendations, TARP has become a program in which
taxpayers (i) are not being told what most of the TARP recipients are doing with
their money, (ii) have still not been told how much their substantial investments are
worth, and (iii) will not be told the full details of how their money is being invested.
In SIGTARP’s view, the very credibility of TARP (and thus in large measure its
chance of success) depends on whether Treasury will commit, in deed as in word,
to operate TARP with the highest degree of transparency possible.

Imposition of Information Barriers, or “Walls,” in PPIP


In the April Quarterly Report, SIGTARP noted that conflicts of interest and col-
lusion vulnerabilities were inherent in the design of PPIP stemming from the fact
that the PPIF managers will have significant power to set prices in a largely illiquid
market. These vulnerabilities could result in PPIF managers having an incentive
to overpay significantly for assets or otherwise using the valuable, proprietary PPIF
trading information to benefit not the PPIF, but rather the manager’s non-PPIF
business interests. As a result, SIGTARP made a series of recommendations in the
April Quarterly Report, including that Treasury should impose strict conflicts of
interest rules.
Since the April Quarterly Report, Treasury has worked with SIGTARP to address
the vulnerabilities in PPIP, and SIGTARP made a series of specific recommenda-
tions, suggestions, and comments concerning the design of the program. Treasury
adopted many of SIGTARP’s suggestions and has developed numerous provisions
that make PPIP far better from a compliance and anti-fraud standpoint than when
the program was initially announced.
However, Treasury has declined to adopt one of SIGTARP’s most fundamental
recommendations — that Treasury should require imposition of an informational
barrier or “wall” between the PPIF fund managers making investment decisions on
behalf of the PPIF and those employees of the fund management company who
manage non-PPIF funds. Treasury has decided not to impose such a wall in this
instance, despite the fact that such walls have been imposed upon asset manag-
ers in similar contexts in other Government bailout-related programs, including by
Treasury itself in other TARP-related activities, and despite the fact that three of
the nine PPIF managers already must abide by similar walls in their work for those
other programs.
If nothing else, the reputational risk that Treasury and the program could face
if a PPIF manager should generate massive profits in its non-PPIF funds as a result
10 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

of an unfair advantage, even if that advantage is not strictly against the rules, justi-
fies the imposition of a wall. Failure to impose a wall, on the other hand, will leave
Treasury vulnerable to an accusation that has already been leveled against it — that
Treasury is using TARP to pick winners and losers and that, by granting certain firms
the PPIF manager status, it is benefitting a chosen few at the expense of the dozens
of firms that were rejected, of the market as a whole, and of the American taxpayer.
This reputational risk is not one that can be readily measured in dollars and cents,
but is rather a risk that could put in jeopardy the fragile trust the American people
have in TARP and, by extension, their Government.
In addition to these recommendations, SIGTARP also makes additional recom-
mendations, described in more detail in Section 5, concerning other aspects of PPIP
and concerning the use of ratings agencies in TALF.

REPORT ORGANIZATION
The report is organized as follows:

• Section 1 describes the activities of SIGTARP.


• Section 2 describes how Treasury has spent TARP funds thus far and contains
an explanation or update of each program, both implemented and recently
announced.
• Section 3 places TARP in the context of the broader bailout efforts by sum-
marizing multiple other Government programs that support the financial system
and the economy.
• Section 4 describes the operations and administration of the Office of Financial
Stability (“OFS”), the office within Treasury that manages TARP.
• Section 5 lays out SIGTARP’s recommendations to Treasury with respect to the
operation of TARP.
• The report also includes numerous appendices containing, among other things,
figures and tables detailing all TARP investments through June 30, 2009.

The goal is to make this report a ready reference on what TARP is and how it
has been used to date. In the interest of making this report as understandable as
possible, and thereby furthering general transparency of the program itself, certain
technical terms are highlighted in the text and defined in the adjacent margin. In ad-
dition, portions of Sections 2 and 3 are devoted to tutorials explaining the financial
terms and concepts necessary to obtain a basic understanding of the programs’
operations.

SIGTARP’S CREATION AND STATUTORY AUTHORITY


Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
The Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief
Program (“SIGTARP”) was created by Section 121 of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). Under EESA, SIGTARP has the responsibility,
among other things, to conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investiga-
tions of the purchase, management, and sale of assets under the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (“TARP”). SIGTARP is required to report quarterly to Congress to
describe SIGTARP’s activities and to provide certain information about TARP over
that preceding quarter. EESA gives SIGTARP the authorities listed in Section 6 of
the Inspector General Act of 1978, including the power to obtain documents and
other information from Federal agencies and to subpoena reports, documents, and
other information from persons or entities outside of Government. EESA provided
SIGTARP with an initial allocation of $50 million to fund its operations.
The Special Inspector General, Neil M. Barofsky, was confirmed by the Senate
on December 8, 2008, and sworn into office on December 15, 2008.

SIGTARP Act
On April 24, 2009, the President signed into law the Special Inspector General for
the Troubled Asset Relief Program Act of 2009 (the “SIGTARP Act” or the “Act”),
which amends EESA as follows:

• provides SIGTARP the authority, with limited exceptions, to conduct, supervise,


and coordinate audits and investigations into any actions taken under EESA
• makes clear that SIGTARP can undertake law enforcement functions without
first obtaining Attorney General approval
• gives SIGTARP the responsibility to coordinate and cooperate with other in-
spectors general on oversight of TARP-related activities
• clarifies that SIGTARP’s quarterly reports are due 30 days after the end of a fis-
cal quarter
• provides SIGTARP with the ability to hire up to 25 Federal retirees, without off-
set of their pension, and, for six months, the authority to hire Federal employees
under 5 U.S.C. § 3161, which gives employees a right to return to their original
agencies once SIGTARP no longer exists
• requires the Treasury Secretary to take steps to address deficiencies identified by
SIGTARP or certify to Congress that no action is necessary or appropriate
• mandates that SIGTARP shall provide a report to Congress, by September 1,
2009, on how TARP recipients have used TARP funds
• releases SIGTARP’s $50 million allocation for immediate use
14 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

SIGTARP believes that the Act makes clear that it has the authorities it needs
to fulfill its mission and will significantly improve its ability to attract and hire expe-
rienced Government auditors and investigators.

Ensign-Boxer Amendment
On May 20, 2009, the President signed into law the Helping Families Save Their
Homes Act of 2009, Public Law No. 111-22. Section 402 of this legislation (the
“Ensign-Boxer Amendment”) is named after two of its co-sponsors, Senators John
Ensign and Barbara Boxer. The Ensign-Boxer Amendment, consistent with recom-
mendations made in SIGTARP’s Quarterly Report to Congress, dated April 21,
2009 (the “April Quarterly Report”), requires the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(“Treasury”), in implementing its Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”), to:

• impose, in consultation with SIGTARP, strict conflicts-of-interest rules on


Public-Private Investment Fund (“PPIF”) managers to ensure arm’s-length
transactions, compliance with fiduciary duties, and full disclosure of relevant
facts and financial interests
• require PPIF managers to file quarterly reports, disclosing the 10 largest posi-
tions of the fund
• provide for SIGTARP access to PPIF manager books and records
• compel PPIF managers to retain all of their books and records
• require PPIF managers to acknowledge, in writing, that they owe fiduciary du-
ties to the public and private investors in the fund
• provide that PPIF managers must develop robust ethics policies and ensure
compliance with the same
• compel PPIF managers to develop and implement strict investor screening
procedures
• require PPIF managers periodically to identify each investor that directly or
indirectly owns 10% or more of the fund
• consult with SIGTARP and issue regulations governing the interaction of PPIP
with the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”) and other similar
public-private investment programs

As discussed later in this section and in detail in Section 5 of this report,


SIGTARP has, consistent with this statute, engaged in a series of discussions with
Treasury concerning the design of PPIP. For more detail on PPIP operations,
see the “Public-Private Investment Program” discussion in Section 2: “TARP
Overview.”
The Ensign-Boxer Amendment also made available to SIGTARP an additional
$15 million, but directed that SIGTARP, in expending such funds, prioritize per-
formance audits and investigations of recipients of non-recourse loans made under
any program that is funded by EESA. SIGTARP believes that the Ensign-Boxer
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 15

Amendment will assist SIGTARP to fulfill its mission under EESA and that it will
substantially improve the controls of PPIP and make it less susceptible to fraud,
waste, and abuse.

Fraud Enforcement Recovery Act


Also on May 20, 2009, the President signed into law the Fraud Enforcement
Recovery Act of 2009, Public Law No. 111-21 (“FERA”). Section 2(d) of FERA
amends 18 U.S.C. § 1031, entitled “Major Fraud Against the United States,” by
clarifying that any fraud related to efforts to obtain Federal financial assistance or Fraud Enforcement Recovery Act of
economic stimulus made available pursuant to EESA invokes the application of 2009, Public Law No. 111-21 (“FERA”):
criminal remedies under that section. SIGTARP believes that section 2(d) of FERA A law enacted to expand the Depart-
will thus enhance deterrence and assist in the prosecution of persons who are ment of Justice’s authority to prose-
inclined or attempt to defraud the programs implemented under EESA. cute crimes related to mortgage fraud,

APRIL QUARTERLY REPORT
SIGTARP has continued to fulfill its oversight role in multiple parallel tracks: from
making recommendations relating to preventing fraud and abuse prospectively; to
auditing aspects of TARP both inside and outside of Government; to investigating
allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse in TARP programs; to coordinating closely
with other oversight bodies; all the while trying to promote transparency in TARP
programs.

Providing Advice on Compliance and Fraud Prevention


To further its goal of improving prospectively the compliance and fraud prevention
aspects of TARP programs, SIGTARP has attempted to establish and maintain
regular lines of communications with the personnel primarily responsible for run-
ning TARP, including those working within Treasury’s Office of Financial Stability
(“OFS”) and within other agencies who manage TARP-related programs or activi-
ties, including the bank regulators, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”), as follows:

• SIGTARP personnel generally receive briefings concerning each new TARP


initiative and new developments in implemented programs when necessary.
• The Special Inspector General and Deputy Special Inspector General typically
meet weekly with the head of OFS, OFS’s Chief Compliance Officer, and OFS’s
General Counsel to discuss ongoing issues and new developments.
• SIGTARP has established regular communication with officials from the
Federal Reserve System (staff from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and
FRBNY) in connection with the Federal Reserve TARP-related programs.
16 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Generally, Treasury and the other agencies have been cooperative in making
their personnel available to SIGTARP and have responded to SIGTARP’s requests
for documents and information.
SIGTARP has endeavored, to the extent it has had an opportunity, to examine
the planned framework for TARP initiatives before their terms are finalized and to
make recommendations designed to advance oversight and internal controls and
Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”): prevent fraud, waste, and abuse within the programs. Since the April Quarterly

securities — a type of asset-backed
security.
Recommendations Regarding the Legacy Securities Program
As discussed more fully in Section 2 of this report, in PPIP’s Legacy Securities
Program, private fund managers will buy and manage portfolios of legacy mort-
gage-backed securities (“MBS”) with equity consisting of both private capital and
TARP funds. In the April Quarterly Report, SIGTARP identified several potential
vulnerabilities in the basic structure of PPIP and made a series of recommenda-
tions addressing such vulnerabilities in the areas, among others, of conflicts of
interest, collusion, money laundering, and how PPIP would interact with TALF.
Consistent with the Ensign-Boxer Amendment, SIGTARP and Treasury have
engaged in an active dialogue concerning the compliance and anti-fraud provisions
of the Legacy Securities Program. In light of those discussions, and after SIGTARP
consulted extensively with the Federal Reserve and FRBNY (which administers
several programs in which asset managers are retained in similar circumstances),
SIGTARP made a series of additional recommendations in two letters to Treasury.
As discussed in more detail in Section 5 of this report, Treasury has adopted many
of SIGTARP’s recommendations, making the program far better from a compli-
ance and fraud-prevention standpoint. However, Treasury has not adopted several
fundamentally important recommendations, including the need for an information
barrier, or “wall,” between those managing the PPIP funds and those managing
portfolios of similar assets at each fund management company.

SIGTARP Audit Activity


To fulfill SIGTARP’s mandate to promote the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness
of TARP programs and operations, SIGTARP’s Audit Division has identified several
aspects of TARP — some internal to Treasury and some external — that will be the
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 17

general focus of its work. SIGTARP’s audits generally will be designed to accom-
plish these objectives:

• ensure transparency in TARP programs to the fullest reasonable extent to foster


accountability in use of funds and program results
• examine whether Treasury managers have developed sufficient internal controls
and procedures to manage TARP programs and the vendors hired to assist in
such management
• ensure a fair, equitable, and consistent application and review process for indi-
viduals and entities seeking relief under the various TARP programs
• test compliance with the policies, procedures, regulations, terms, and conditions
that are imposed on TARP participants
• coordinate with other relevant audit and oversight entities to maximize audit
coverage while minimizing overlap and duplication of efforts

SIGTARP’s First Completed Audit: Use of Funds


SIGTARP’s first audit report, which is being released at or about the time of this re-
port, concerns how recipients of Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) funds reported
their use of such funds. In February 2009, SIGTARP sent survey letters to more
than 360 financial and other institutions that had completed TARP funding agree-
ments through January 2009. In response to those surveys, although most banks
reported that they did not segregate or track TARP fund usage on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, they were able to provide insights into their actual or planned future use of
TARP funds. Over 98% of survey recipients reported their actual uses of TARP
funds. Highlights of the audit include:

• More than 80% of respondents cited the use of funds for lending; some reported
how it helped them avoid reduced lending. Many banks reported that lending
would have been lower without TARP funds or would have come to a standstill.
• More than 40% of respondents reported that they used some TARP funds to
help maintain the capital cushions and reserves required by their banking regu-
lators to be able to absorb unanticipated losses.
• Nearly a third of the respondents reported that they used some TARP funds to
invest in MBS, such as those backed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie
Mac. These actions provided immediate support of the lending and borrowing
activities of other banks and positioned the banks for increased lending later.
• A smaller number reported using some TARP funds to repay outstanding loans
— some because the TARP funds were a more cost-effective source of funds
18 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

than their outstanding debt and some because of pressure from a creditor to use
the funds for that purpose.
• Several banks reported using some TARP funds to buy other banks. One re-
ported that this was a cost-effective way to acquire additional deposits that, in
turn, would facilitate an even greater amount of lending.
• Some banks reported that they had not yet allocated funds for lending and other
activities due to the short time elapsed since the receipt of funds, the weak
demand for credit, and the uncertain economic environment.
As discussed further in Section 5 of this report, in light of the audit findings,
SIGTARP renews its recommendation that the Secretary of the Treasury (“Treasury
Secretary”) require all CPP recipients to submit periodic reports to Treasury on
their use of TARP funds, including reports on their lending, investments, acquisi-
tions, and other activities that were supported by or resulted from their receipt of
TARP funds, as well as a description of what actions they were able to take as a
result of TARP funding.

Audits Nearing Completion


Several additional audits are nearing completion, and SIGTARP plans to issue
reports on the following audits over the next quarter:

• Executive Compensation Compliance: This audit, also based on SIGTARP’s


survey of TARP recipients, examines evolving executive compensation require-
ments during the first nine months of TARP and efforts of CPP recipients to
comply with the requirements as known at the time. This report is expected to
be issued in August 2009.
• External Influences: This audit examines whether, or to what extent, external
parties may have influenced decision making by Treasury or bank regulators in
approving bank applications for funding under CPP. This report is also expected
to be issued in August 2009.
• Funding of the First Nine TARP Recipients, with a Special Focus on
Bank of America: This audit examines the review and approval process associ-
ated with TARP assistance to the first nine CPP recipients, with emphasis on
additional assistance to Bank of America subsequently authorized under the
Targeted Investment and the Asset Guarantee Programs (“TIP” and “AGP”).
The audit also examines selected issues and interactions among Treasury,
Federal Reserve, and Bank of America officials in connection with Bank of
America’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch and the timing of Government assistance
under the latter two programs following the acquisition. This report is expected
to be issued in September 2009.
• Executive Compensation Oversight (AIG Bonuses): This audit examines
payouts of large bonus payments to American International Group (“AIG”)
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 19

employees in March 2009, including the extent of knowledge and oversight of


AIG compensation issues by Treasury and FRBNY in light of their respective
programs involving AIG. This report is expected to be issued in September 2009.
• AIG Counterparty Payments: This audit examines payments made to AIG
counterparties. AIG, which has received the largest amount of financial assis-
tance from the Government during the current financial crisis, reportedly made
counterparty payments at 100% of face value to other financial institutions,
including some foreign institutions and other financial institutions that had
received financial assistance under TARP. Questions exist whether any efforts
were made to negotiate any reduction in those payments. This report is expected
to be issued in September 2009.

New Audits Underway or Planned


SIGTARP has a number of recently announced audits and several others are
planned. Recently announced audits include:

• CPP Warrant Valuation and Disposition Process: This audit seeks to deter-
mine (i) the extent to which financial institutions have repaid Treasury’s invest-
ment under CPP and the extent to which the warrants associated with that
process were repurchased or sold; and (ii) what process and procedures Treasury
has established to ensure that the Government receives fair market value for
the warrants, and the extent to which Treasury follows a clear, consistent, and
objective process in reaching decisions where differing valuations of warrants
exist. This audit complements a Congressional Oversight Panel (“COP”) report
released on July 10, 2009, that examines the warrant valuation process.
• Follow-up Assessments of Use of Funds by TARP Recipients: This audit fol-
lows up on SIGTARP’s earlier use of funds audit. It focuses on use of funds by
recipients receiving extraordinary assistance under the Systemically Significant
Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) program, the Automotive Industry Financing
Program (“AIFP”), as well as insurance companies receiving assistance under
CPP. This review seeks to provide a more complete picture of use of funds
across a broader category of recipients to meet a Congressional mandate for a
SIGTARP report on use of funds by TARP recipients.
• Governance Issues Where U.S. Holds Large Ownership Interests:
SIGTARP recently received a request from Senator Max Baucus, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Finance, to undertake a body of work examin-
ing the following issues: (i) What is the extent of Government involvement in
management of companies in which it has made sizeable investments, including
direction and control over such elements as governance, compensation, spend-
ing, and other corporate decision making? (ii) To what extent are effective risk
management, internal controls, and monitoring in place to protect and balance
20 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

the Government’s interests and corporate needs? (iii) Are there performance
measures in place that can be used to track progress against long-term goals
and timeframes affecting the Government’s ability to wind down its investments
and disengage from these companies? (iv) Is there adequate transparency to
support decision making and to provide full disclosure to Congress and the
public? SIGTARP is currently engaged in discussions and planning with the
Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) directed toward a potential joint or
complementary effort in addressing this request.
• Status of the Government’s Asset Guarantee Program with Citigroup: This
review, recently requested by Representative Alan Grayson, addresses a series of
questions about the Government’s guarantee of certain Citigroup assets through
the AGP such as: (i) How was the program for Citigroup developed? (ii) What
are the current cash flows from the affected assets? (iii) What is the potential
for losses to Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and
the Federal Reserve under the program? SIGTARP expects to launch a review of
this program during this coming quarter.
• Making Home Affordable Mortgage Modification Program: According
to Treasury, approximately three to four million homeowners could benefit
from the Making Home Affordable (“MHA”) mortgage modification program.
SIGTARP plans to launch a broad review during this coming quarter to assess
the status of the program, the effectiveness of outreach efforts, capabilities of
loan servicers to provide services to eligible recipients, and challenges confront-
ing the program as it goes forward.

SIGTARP Investigations Activity


SIGTARP’s Investigations Division has developed rapidly and is quickly becoming a
sophisticated white-collar investigative agency. Through June 30, 2009, SIGTARP
has opened 37 and has 35 ongoing criminal and civil investigations. These investi-
gations include complex issues concerning suspected accounting fraud, securities
fraud, insider trading, mortgage servicer misconduct, mortgage fraud, public cor-
ruption, false statements, and tax investigations. Two of SIGTARP’s investigations
have recently become public.

Felony Charges Against Gordon Grigg


On April 23, 2009, Federal felony charges were brought against Gordon B. Grigg in
the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, charging Grigg with
four counts of mail fraud and four counts of wire fraud. The charges are based on
Grigg’s role in embezzling approximately $11 million in client investment funds.
Grigg pled guilty to all charges and is scheduled for sentencing on August 6, 2009.
According to public documents, Grigg solicited approximately 60 investors to
invest funds totaling approximately $11 million. Grigg never purchased securities
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 21

or managed accounts for clients who invested funds with him; instead, he used
the investor funds for his personal benefit and expenses and to disburse “ficti-
tious” earnings and return of deposits to clients who cashed out or closed their
accounts. As an inducement for clients to invest, Grigg promised that he would
generate and sustain high rates of annualized returns on investment, and, as part
of his solicitation, he falsely claimed that he had the ability to invest client funds
in Government-guaranteed commercial paper and bank debt as part of TARP.
SIGTARP investigators provided assistance in the case in coordination with the
United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”),
the United States Postal Inspection Service (“USPIS”), the Tennessee Department
of Commerce and Insurance, and the Franklin, Tennessee, Police Department.

Supporting FTC’s Action Enjoining Improper Use of


“MakingHomeAffordable.gov”
On Friday, May 15, 2009, at the request of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”),
a Federal district court issued an order to stop an Internet-based operation that pre-
tended to operate “MakingHomeAffordable.gov,” the official website of the Federal
MHA program for mortgage loan assistance. The FTC alleged that the defendants
deceptively diverted consumers who searched online for the free Government-
assistance program to commercial websites that offer loan modification services for
a fee.
According to the FTC’s complaint, the defendants purchased sponsored links
for their advertising on the results pages of Internet search engines, including
yahoo.com, msn.com, altavista.com, and alltheweb.com. When consumers
searched for “making home affordable” or similar search terms, the defendants’ ads
prominently and conspicuously displayed the website address “makinghomeafford-
able.gov.” Consumers who clicked on this advertised hyperlink were not directed to
the official website for the MHA program, but rather were diverted to websites that
solicit applicants for paid loan modification services. These commercial websites,
which are not part of or affiliated with the U.S. Government, require consumers to
enter personally identifying and confidential financial information. The operators of
these websites either purport to offer loan modification services themselves or sell
the personally identifying information to others.
The FTC filed an emergency request for a temporary restraining order in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Civil Case No. 1:09-cv-00894
(CKK). Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly entered a temporary restraining order, barring
the defendants from using the “MakingHomeAffordable.gov” hyperlink or repre-
senting that they are affiliated with the U.S. Government. The order also requires
the four search engine providers to identify those who paid them to place the
ads and to refuse to place paid ads that contain active hyperlinks that are labeled
22 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

“MakingHomeAffordable.gov” or any other domain name containing “.gov.”


SIGTARP is providing assistance and support to the FTC during the
investigation.

SIGTARP Hotline
One of SIGTARP’s primary investigative priorities is to operate the SIGTARP
Hotline and thus provide an interface with the American public to facilitate the re-
porting of concerns, allegations, information, and evidence of violations of criminal
and civil laws in connection with TARP. Over the past quarter alone, the SIGTARP
Hotline has received and analyzed more than 3,200 contacts on the Hotline. These
contacts run the gamut from expressions of concern over the economy to serious
allegations of fraud involving TARP, and more than half of SIGTARP’s investiga-
tions were generated in connection with Hotline tips. The SIGTARP Hotline is
capable of receiving information anonymously, and confidentiality can and will be
provided to the fullest extent possible. The American public can provide informa-
tion by telephone, mail, fax, or online. SIGTARP has established a Hotline con-
nection on its website at www.SIGTARP.gov. SIGTARP honors all whistleblower
protections.

TALF-PPIP Task Force


In a proactive initiative to get out in front of any efforts to profit criminally from
the up to $1 trillion TALF program, SIGTARP organized a multi-agency task force
to deter, detect, and investigate any instances of fraud or abuse in TALF. In con-
nection with the announcement of the Financial Stability Plan (“FSP”), Treasury
announced the outlines of PPIP to deal with the problems posed by “toxic” legacy
mortgages and MBS. The PPIFs set up through PPIP will be able to use TALF to
obtain Federal Reserve financing to purchase such assets. Because of the expected
use of TALF by PPIP and the significant subject-matter overlap, SIGTARP and its
partners have expanded the TALF Task Force to also address the law enforcement
challenges posed by PPIP.
The TALF-PPIP Task Force, comprising both civil and criminal law enforce-
ment agencies, with both investigative and analytical resources, demonstrates
that the agencies involved are meeting that challenge proactively and before the
bulk of the money has been expended. In addition to SIGTARP, the TALF-PPIP
Task Force consists of the Inspector General of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, FBI, Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
(“FinCEN”), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), Internal
Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division (“IRS-CI”), SEC, and the USPIS.
The members of the TALF-PPIP Task Force combine their shared expertise in
securities fraud investigations and maximize their resources to deter potential
criminals, to identify and stop fraud schemes before they can fully develop, and to
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 23

bring to justice those who seek to commit fraud through TALF or PPIP. Although
participants of these programs who play by the rules have nothing to fear from this
Task Force, Federal law enforcement is ready now to detect, investigate, and bring
to justice any who would try to steal from these important programs.
Representatives from each agency participate in regular briefings about TALF
and PPIP, collectively identify areas of fraud vulnerability, engage in the training of
agents and analysts with respect to the complex issues surrounding the program,
and serve as points of contact within each agency for leads relating to TALF and
any resulting cases that are generated. The TALF-PPIP Task Force has already
received substantive briefings from FRBNY, Treasury, and SEC and has further
training sessions scheduled.
The TALF-PPIP Task Force represents a historic law enforcement effort
with an ambitious goal: to redefine the policing of complex Federal Government
programs by proactively arranging a coordinated law enforcement response before
fraud occurs.

Coordination with Law Enforcement Agencies


As part of its coordination role, SIGTARP has been active in forging partnerships
with other criminal and civil law enforcement agencies. These relationships are de-
signed to benefit both investigations originated by other agencies, when SIGTARP
expertise can be brought to bear, and SIGTARP’s own investigations, which can be
improved by tapping into additional resources. In this regard:

• SIGTARP has continued to develop close working relationships with the FBI,
IRS-CI, USPIS, ICE, SEC, and the FTC, both with each agency’s headquarters
and various field offices.
• SIGTARP has brought on a full-time detailee from the FBI’s Washington Field
Office (“WFO”) to work on SIGTARP investigations and to serve as a liaison
with the FBI-WFO.
• The Special Inspector General and Deputy Special Inspector General recently
met with SEC’s new Chief of the Enforcement Division and SIGTARP has
several ongoing investigations with SEC.
• SIGTARP is in the process of bringing on board a detailee from SEC to assist in
SIGTARP investigations and to serve as a liaison with SEC.
• SIGTARP has continued to develop relationships with the Department of
Justice (“DOJ”), both at Main Justice and with U.S. Attorney’s Offices across
the country, concerning both criminal and civil enforcement, and is currently
working with various DOJ components on many of its open investigations. The
Special Inspector General recently gave the keynote address at DOJ/FDIC’s an-
nual conference on bank fraud.
24 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

• SIGTARP continues to coordinate with more than a dozen States Attorneys


General.
• SIGTARP’s Deputy Special Inspector General for Investigations established
the Assistant Inspector General for Investigations (“AIGI”) TARP Interagency
Working Group. Its objective is to provide an active forum for heads of investiga-
tive divisions within the Inspector General (“IG”) community and other law en-
forcement agencies whose agency mission is in some way affiliated with TARP,
to coordinate and share relevant investigative information at the national level.
• SIGTARP continues to work closely with the New York High Intensity Financial
Crime Area (“NY HIFCA”). NY HIFCA provides SIGTARP with two dedicated
financial analysts, supervised by a Senior Special Agent from ICE, to provide da-
tabase search and analytical support, and the Special Inspector General recently
gave the keynote address at the NY HIFCA’s annual conference. This relation-
ship has already generated several complex ongoing investigations.
• SIGTARP obtains access to Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.) data-
base services through FinCEN. SIGTARP is working with FinCEN to develop
an advisory regarding TARP programs that will be sent to thousands of financial
institutions, and SIGTARP’s Deputy Special Inspector General gave a presenta-
tion at FinCEN’s Bank Secrecy Act Working Group annual meeting.

Coordination with Other EESA Oversight Bodies


EESA, as amended, is explicit in mandating that SIGTARP coordinate audits and
investigations into TARP with the other primary oversight bodies: the Financial
Stability Oversight Board (“FSOB”), COP, and GAO. Numerous other agencies,
both in the IG community and among criminal and civil law enforcement agencies,
potentially have responsibilities that touch on TARP as well. SIGTARP takes seri-
ously its mandate to coordinate these overlapping oversight responsibilities, both to
ensure maximum coverage and to minimize duplicative requests of TARP manag-
ers. SIGTARP and its partners have continued to have significant success on this
front since the April Quarterly Report. These coordination efforts include:

• bi-weekly conference calls with staff from FSOB


• regular meetings with staff from COP and the launching of a complementary
effort to address Treasury’s repurchase of warrants from TARP recipients
• frequent interactions with GAO to coordinate ongoing and planned work to
avoid any unnecessary duplication of efforts and to better facilitate their indi-
vidual responsibilities
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 25

TARP-IG Council
Due to the scope of the various programs under TARP, numerous Federal agen-
cies have some role in administering or overseeing TARP programs. To further
facilitate SIGTARP’s coordination role, the Special Inspector General founded and
chairs the TARP Inspector General Council (“TARP-IG Council”), made up of
the Comptroller General and those IGs whose oversight functions are most likely
to touch on TARP issues. The Council meets monthly to discuss developments in
TARP and to coordinate overlapping audit and investigative issues. The TARP-IG
Council currently comprises:

• The Special Inspector General


• Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury
• Inspector General of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
• Inspector General of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
• Inspector General of the Securities and Exchange Commission
• Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency
• Inspector General of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
• Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
• Inspector General for the Small Business Administration
• Comptroller General of the United States (head of GAO) or designee

Communications with Congress


One of SIGTARP’s primary functions is to ensure that Members of Congress are
kept informed of developments in TARP programs and SIGTARP’s oversight activi-
ties. To fulfill that role, the Special Inspector General and SIGTARP staff regularly
brief Members and staff. More formally, over the past quarter, the Special Inspector
General testified before the Joint Economic Committee (“JEC”) on April 23,
2009; entitled “Following the Money: A Quarterly Report by the Special Inspector
General for the TARP,” the testimony focused on the findings and recommenda-
tions of SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report. Copies of all of the Special Inspector
General’s written testimony, hearing transcripts, and a variety of other materials
associated with Congressional hearings since SIGTARP’s inception are posted at
www.SIGTARP.gov/reports.

BUILDING SIGTARP’S ORGANIZATION


From the day that the Special Inspector General was confirmed by the Senate,
SIGTARP has worked to build its organization through various complementary
strategies, including hiring experienced senior executives who can play multiple
26 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

roles during the early stages of the organization, leveraging the resources of other
agencies, and, where appropriate and cost-effective, obtaining services through
SIGTARP’s authority to contract. Since the April Quarterly Report, SIGTARP has
continued to make substantial progress in building its operation.

Hiring
Each of SIGTARP’s divisions has continued the process of filling out its ranks. As
of June 30, 2009, SIGTARP had approximately 60 personnel, including detailees
from other agencies, with several new hires to begin over the coming weeks.
SIGTARP’s employees hail from many Federal agencies, including DOJ, FBI, IRS-
CI, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, GAO, Department of Transportation,
Department of Energy, SEC, DOJ, U.S. Secret Service, United States Postal
Service, U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Naval Criminal Investigative
Service, Treasury-Office of the Inspector General, Department of Energy-Office
of the Inspector General, Department of Transportation-Office of the Inspector
General, Department of Homeland Security-Office of the Inspector General,
FDIC-Office of the Inspector General, Office of the Special Inspector General for
Iraq Reconstruction, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Office of the Inspector General. Hiring is actively ongoing, building to SIGTARP’s
current goal of approximately 160 full-time employees. The SIGTARP organiza-
tional chart, as of June 30, 2009, is included in Appendix H.

SIGTARP Budget
Section 121(j) of EESA provided $50 million in initial operating funds to
SIGTARP. When SIGTARP was established and its initial operating resources were
allocated, TARP was envisioned as a $700 billion asset-purchase and -guarantee

SIGTARP’s Physical and Technical Infrastructure


SIGTARP has begun the process of moving into office space at 1801 L Street, NW,
in Washington, D.C., the same office building in which the Treasury officials man-
aging TARP are located. SIGTARP is already occupying temporary quarters in that
building while its two permanent floors are being renovated. SIGTARP anticipates
occupying its permanent space by early 2010.
SIGTARP operates a website, www.SIGTARP.gov, on which it posts all of its re-
ports, testimony, audits, investigations (once such investigations are made public),
contracts, and more. The website prominently features SIGTARP’s Hotline, which
can also be accessed by phone at 877-SIG-2009 (877-744-2009).
From the website’s inception through June 30, 2009, more than 12 million visi-
tors have accessed SIGTARP’s website, and SIGTARP’s first two reports have been
downloaded more than 670,000 times.

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 31

This section summarizes the activities of the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(“Treasury”) in its management of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). It
includes a financial overview and provides updates on established TARP programs,
including the status of TARP executive compensation restrictions.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW OF TARP


As of June 30, 2009, Treasury had announced commitments to spend $643.1
billion of the $700 billion authorized by Congress in the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).1 Of this amount, approximately $441 billion
had been expended through nine implemented programs to provide support for
U.S. financial institutions, companies, and individual borrowers.2 On May 6, 2009,
Congress passed the Helping Families Save Their Home Act of 2009 (Public Law
No. 111-22),3 which amended EESA and reduced TARP’s authorized $700 billion
by $1.2 billion.4 Therefore, the Secretary of the Treasury (“Treasury Secretary”)
now “has the authority to purchase and hold up to roughly $699 billion in assets at
one time.”5
Treasury interprets the $699 billion maximum funding for TARP, as autho-
rized in EESA, as a cap on the amount that can be “outstanding” at any one time.
Therefore, as funds are repaid, they become available for other EESA-authorized
purposes.6 As of June 30, 2009, $70.3 billion7 in TARP funds had been repaid to
the Government. In total, 46.9% of TARP’s available $699 billion was outstanding.8
Any interest or dividends received from Treasury’s investments, as well as revenues

sale of warrants and preferred stock (received as a result of exercised warrants).10
The 12 announced programs within TARP can be categorized in 4 general
groups depending on the type of support they were designed to provide:

• Financial Institution Support Programs — These programs share a common,


stated goal of stabilizing the financial market to avoid disruption and provide for
a healthy economy.
• Asset Support Programs — These programs attempt to support asset values
and liquidity in the market by providing funding to purchase securities.
• Automotive Industry Support Programs — These programs all have a univer-
sal goal to stabilize the American automotive industry, promoting market stabil-
ity and a vigorous economy.
• Homeowner Support Programs — These programs encourage homeowner
affordability by providing loan modification and refinancing assistance.

Financial Institution Support Programs


The primary tool of TARP for assisting financial institutions thus far has been a
direct investment of capital. Financial institutions include bank holding companies

$218 billion under the program, of which $70.1 billion had been repaid.12 See
the “Capital Purchase Program” discussion in this section for more detailed
information.
• Capital Assistance Program (“CAP”). Similar to CPP, the goal of CAP is to
“ensure the continued ability of U.S. financial institutions to lend to creditwor-
thy borrowers in the face of a weaker than expected economic environment and
larger than expected potential losses.”13 As originally envisioned by Treasury,
CAP investments were to be targeted to financial institutions with more than
$100 billion in assets and would be sized to provide a capital buffer to be deter-
mined by a Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (“SCAP” or “stress test”).14
Treasury applied SCAP to 19 of the largest financial institutions and concluded
that 10 of those institutions will be required to seek additional capital.15 Those
failing to raise such capital in the private market will be required to take CAP
funds; however, many financial institutions have raised significant funds on
their own, which could seemingly limit their need for CAP. In addition to the
required participants, all qualifying financial institutions may apply under CAP
for additional capital without the stress-test requirement. As of June 30, 2009,

• Targeted Investment Program (“TIP”). The stated objective of TIP is to
make targeted investments in financial institutions “to avoid significant market
disruptions resulting from the deterioration of one financial institution that can

billion of senior preferred stock and received warrants of common stock from
both Citigroup and Bank of America, for a total expenditure of $40 billion in
TARP funds.21 As of June 30, 2009, Treasury had made no additional funding
available under this program. Subsequent to SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report,
Citigroup finalized an exchange offering that will convert preferred stock,
including preferred shares acquired by Treasury through TIP/AGP and CPP,
to trust preferred shares and common stock, respectively. See the “Targeted
Investment Program and Asset Guarantee Program” portion of this section for a
detailed discussion of Citibank’s exchange offering.
• Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”). Through AGP, Treasury’s stated goal is to
use insurance-like protections to help stabilize at-risk financial institutions. AGP
provides certain loss protections on a select pool of mortgage-related or similar Illiquid Assets: Assets that cannot be

risk to market confidence.22 As discussed in SIGTARP’s Initial Report, Treasury,
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the Federal Reserve
agreed to provide certain loss protections with respect to $301 billion in trou-
bled assets held by Citigroup.23 Treasury’s projected TARP investment through
this program accounted for $5 billion in protection for Citigroup as of June 30,
2009.24 A similar arrangement with Bank of America was announced on January
16, 2009; Bank of America, however, recently requested not to go forward with
the program. As of June 30, 2009, the matter had not yet been resolved.25 See
the “Targeted Investment Program and Asset Guarantee Program” discussion in
this section for more information on Citigroup’s transactions.

Asset Support Programs


The purpose of these programs is to support the liquidity and market value of as-
sets owned by financial institutions. These assets may include various classes of
asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and several types of loans. These programs seek
to bolster the balance sheets of the financial firms and help free up capital so that
financial institutions can extend more credit to support the U.S. economy.

• Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”). TALF was originally

Automotive Industry Support Programs


The stated objective of TARP’s automotive industry support programs is to “prevent
a significant disruption of the American automotive industry, which would pose a
systemic risk to financial market stability and have a negative effect on the econo-
my of the United States.”34

• Automotive Industry Financing Program (“AIFP”). Under this program,


Treasury made emergency loans to Chrysler Holding LLC (“Chrysler”), Chrysler
Financial Services Americas LLC (“Chrysler Financial”), and General Motors
Corporation (“GM”). In addition to these investments, Treasury purchased
senior preferred stock from GMAC LLC (“GMAC”). Subsequent to SIGTARP’s
April Quarterly Report, the manufacturers (Chrysler and GM) were unable to
obtain necessary concessions from key stakeholders and, therefore, filed for
bankruptcy on April 30, 2009, and June 1, 2009, respectively. These bankrupt-
cies involved infusion of additional TARP funds. As of June 30, 2009, Treasury
had expended or committed $79.3 billion in AIFP investments, of which $130.8
million had been repaid.35 See the discussion of “Automotive Industry Financing
Program” later in this section for a detailed discussion on the reorganizations of
these companies.
• Auto Supplier Support Program (“ASSP”). The stated purpose of ASSP is to
provide Government-backed financing to break the adverse credit cycle affect-
ing the auto suppliers and the manufacturers by “providing suppliers with the
confidence they need to continue shipping their parts and the support they need
to help access loans to pay their employees and continue their operations.”36
Treasury’s commitment under this program was $5 billion as of June 30, 2009
— $3.5 billion for GM and $1.5 billion for Chrysler.37 See the discussion of
“Auto Supplier Support Program” in this section for more information.
• Auto Warranty Commitment Program (“AWCP”). The Auto Warranty
Commitment Program was designed by the Administration with the inten-
tion of bolstering consumer confidence in automobile warranties on GM- and
Chrysler-built vehicles. Under this program, Government-backed financing
was to be provided for the warranties of cars sold during the GM and Chrysler
restructuring periods. As of June 30, 2009, Treasury funded $640.7 million
toward this program — $360.6 million was made available to GM and $280.1
million was made available to Chrysler.38 However, Treasury has stated that the
funds are not expected to be used by the manufacturers. Treasury expects that
after GM and Chrysler fully emerge from bankruptcy, the committed funds will
be refunded to Treasury.39 See the discussion of “Auto Warranty Commitment
Program” in this section for more information.
36 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Homeowner Support Programs


The homeowner support programs are aimed at assisting troubled homeowners and
financial institutions holding the affected assets.

• Making Home Affordable (“MHA”) Program. According to Treasury, MHA


is a foreclosure mitigation plan intended to “help bring relief to responsible
homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments while preventing
neighborhoods and communities from suffering the negative spillover effects of
foreclosure, such as lower housing prices, increased crime, and higher taxes.”40
Treasury, along with other Federal agencies, “will undertake a comprehensive
multiple-part strategy,” which will provide for (i) a $75 billion loan modifica-
tion program for homeowners in default on their payments or facing imminent
default, (ii) a streamlined refinancing process for homeowners whose loans are
serviced by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and (iii) approximately $200 billion
to support Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.41 The funds for this effort will be
provided from both TARP- and non-TARP-related sources. Treasury announced
that up to $50 billion of TARP funds could be expended for this program.42 As

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SUPPORT PROGRAMS


Qualifying Financial Institutions
Treasury created five TARP programs that involve investment of capital or guaran-
(“QFIs”): Private and public U.S.-con-
tee of assets in return for equity in financial institutions. Two investment pro- trolled banks, savings associations,
grams, the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) and the Capital Assistance Program bank holding companies, certain
(“CAP”), are open to all qualifying financial institutions (“QFIs”). The other three savings and loan holding companies,
programs, the Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) program, and mutual organizations.
Targeted Investment Program (“TIP”), and Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”) are
made available on a case-by-case basis to specific institutions needing exceptional
assistance above that of CPP and CAP.

To maximize the benefit to the taxpayer, EESA mandated that Treasury receive
warrants when it invests in troubled assets. The warrants for publicly traded institu-

institutions but had done so for non-public institutions.58

cipients have the right to repurchase their warrants with proper notice to Treasury
at the fair market value. Non-public TARP recipients have the right to repurchase
the preferred shares and subordinated debt that Treasury took when it immediately
exercised the warrants at the time their CPP transactions closed.59 ARRA states
that, following the repayment of TARP funding, Treasury “shall liquidate warrants
associated with such assistance at the current market price.”60 On May 20, 2009,
Congress passed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 (Public Law
No. 111-22), which amended the ARRA provision requiring Treasury to liquidate
its warrants immediately upon TARP repayment. Specifically, the phrase “shall
liquidate” was changed to “may liquidate” — indicating that Treasury has discretion
in deciding when it should sell or exercise its warrants.61
On June 26, 2009, Treasury announced guidance for the warrant repurchase
process for publicly traded institutions. If an institution wishes to repurchase war-
rants from Treasury, it must first take the following steps:62

Step 1: Notification to Treasury with Determination of Fair Market Value


Any institution wishing to repurchase its warrants must notify Treasury within 15
days of repayment of TARP funds.63 According to the CPP SPA, the notification
must include the number of warrants to be repurchased and the determination of
fair market value from the board of directors. Moreover, the board of directors must
be acting in good faith with reliance on an “independent investment banking firm.”
The independent appraiser must be retained by the TARP recipient and approved
by Treasury.64

Step 2: Treasury Evaluates Repurchase Offer


According to the CPP SPA and the guidance announced by Treasury, Treasury will
have 10 days to evaluate the TARP recipient’s offer of fair market value as required
by ARRA.65 According to Treasury, it will be using three different valuation method-
ologies to determine market values of the warrants:66

• market-price approach – For those warrants listed on a securities exchange,


current market value is used. However, many of the warrants that Treasury
50 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

holds are not listed on a securities exchange. In these cases, Treasury will use
market prices of securities with similar characteristics to assess the market value
of the warrants. Securities with similar characteristics include traded warrants,
traded options, common equity, and securities listed by similar institutions. Treasury
has stated that it will be using 5-10 market participants, such as investment banks
and asset management firms, to provide quotes on the value of the warrants.
• financial models – Treasury stated that it will conduct valuations based on
well-known, common financial models, such as the binomial and Black-Scholes
models. The models use various known inputs as well as assumptions about the
volatility and dividends of the common stock of the institution to calculate the
value of the warrants. To measure the volatility and assumptions of the common
stock, Treasury will be using a 60-day trailing volatility for the past 10 years of
the common stock price.
• third-party valuation – Treasury will be using the three asset managers that it
has hired to manage TARP assets and other outside consultants to assess inde-
pendently the value of each institution’s warrants.

Step 3: Negotiation Period


Should Treasury reject the TARP recipient’s repurchase offer, the Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”) of the TARP recipient and a representative of Treasury shall meet
to discuss Treasury’s objections to the valuation proposed by the TARP recipient
and attempt to reach an agreement.67 As of June 30, 2009, all of the warrant repur-
chases have occurred as a product of this negotiation period.68

Step 4: Appraisal Procedure


If, in 10 days, no price is agreed upon, either the institution or Treasury may invoke
the “Appraisal Procedure.” This involves Treasury and the TARP recipient each
choosing an independent appraiser to agree mutually upon the fair market value of
the warrants. If, after 30 days, the two appraisers are not able to agree upon a fair
market value, then a third independent appraiser will be chosen with the consent
of the first two appraisers.69 The third appraiser has 30 days to make a decision,
and, subject to limitations — such as if one of the three valuations is significantly
different from the other two — a composite valuation of the three appraisals is
used to establish the fair market value.70 Treasury and the institution will be bound
by this price determination, but Treasury has stated that if the recipient is not satis-
fied with this price, it may withdraw its notification to repurchase the warrants.71
Under the CPP SPA, the costs of conducting any appraisal procedure “shall be
borne by the Company.”72

Alternate Disposition of Warrants


If the institution and Treasury do not invoke the “Appraisal Procedure,” or if the
institution decides not to seek to repurchase its warrants, Treasury has various
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 51

options as to how it manages these investments over the 10-year exercisable period
— it may sell them, exercise them, or hold them as it sees fit to otherwise maximize
benefit to the taxpayers. When selling the warrants on the open market, Treasury
has stated that it will do so through an auction process. As of June 30, 2009, guid-
ance on this auction process has not yet been released.73 Treasury has stated that it
intends to liquidate the warrants of institutions that have redeemed their CPP pre-
ferred shares quickly.74 While under the SPA, Treasury also has the right to auction
50% of the warrants of financial institutions that have not yet repaid TARP funds;75
as of June 30, 2009, it had not done so.
As of June 30, 2009, 11 banks had repurchased their warrants for a total of
$18.7 million,76 while three private institutions whose warrants were immediately
exercised into preferred shares had repurchased those shares for a total of
$1.6 million.77 For a list of institutions, both public and private, that have repaid
their TARP funds and repurchased their warrants as of June 30, 2009, see Table
2.10. These institutions are no longer part of TARP.

Treasury Lending Snapshots


Treasury snapshots were instituted in January 2009 as a means to track progress
toward the stated goal of CPP: “building a capital base of viable U.S. financial in-
stitutions, enabling them to continue lending to businesses and consumers during
this unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn.”78 Treasury continues
to measure the lending activities of CPP recipients by performing both monthly
and quarterly data analysis.79 There are currently two types of monthly reports is-
sued on CPP. Originally, the monthly intermediation snapshots were conducted for
the 21 largest CPP participants. In March 2009, Treasury announced that it would
require all CPP participants to submit data for a new monthly lending report that
complements the monthly intermediation snapshots. The first monthly lending re-
port for all CPP participants was published on June 1, 2009, and included data for
February and March of 2009. A second monthly lending report with April data was
issued on June 19, 2009. Going forward, this report will be released around the
20th of each month.80 As of June 30, 2009, information from the 21 largest CPP
participants had been collected and released through April 2009.

April 2009 Monthly Intermediation Snapshot


The most recent monthly intermediation snapshot for the 21 largest CPP recipi-
ents was released on June 15, 2009, reporting data for the period of April 1, 2009,
to April 30, 2009. The responses found a decline in total new lending of 7% from
March to April; the report also included new information on small-business lending
that will be reported in all surveys going forward. Treasury reviewed and analyzed
the data and came to the following conclusions:81

• Consumer lending levels decreased as a result of a weakening labor market and


declines in household wealth.
• Commercial and industrial lending was reportedly “well below normal levels.”
• Banks reported $267 billion in outstanding small-business loan balances, with
$8 billion in small-business loan originations over the month.

stitutions will need to take to meet enhanced capital requirements. Of the 19 insti-
tutions that participated in SCAP, the Federal Reserve determined that 10 needed
approximately $75 billion total in additional capital, and the other 9 institutions
had sufficient capital to cover potential losses even in the more adverse scenario.85
Upon publication of the SCAP results, Treasury announced a November 9, 2009,
deadline for those 10 institutions that need to raise additional capital to meet the
enhanced capital requirements. Treasury also extended the application deadline for
all institutions wishing to participate in CAP to November 9, 2009.86 For a timeline
and description of the CAP process, see Figure 2.8 on the next page.

Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (“SCAP”)


SCAP, otherwise known as the “stress test,” was a key component of CAP. The
stress test was conducted by the FBAs with the stated intention of ensuring that
the largest financial institutions have sufficient capital to cover losses and continue
lending in a more adverse economic scenario than was anticipated at the time the
tests were conducted. All domestic BHCs with assets exceeding $100 billion at the
end of 2008 were required to participate. At the end of 2008, there were 19 BHCs
with assets of more than $100 billion, representing roughly two-thirds of aggregate
U.S. BHC assets.87
According to the Federal Reserve, the stress test was a forward-looking exer-
cise utilizing both a baseline and adverse scenario of the economy for the next two
years. The test was administered by various teams of supervisors and analysts from
the FBAs with specialized knowledge of the participating firms or expertise in spe-
cific asset classes or securities.88
On May 7, 2009, the Federal Reserve released the results of the SCAP pro-
cess, revealing that 9 of the 19 BHCs had sufficient capital to withstand the most
adverse scenario of the tests. As of June 30, 2009, eight of the nine institutions
that had sufficient capital under SCAP were approved by their FBAs and had
repaid their CPP funds, but had outstanding warrants owned by the Government.
As of the drafting of this report, State Street Corporation repurchased its related
warrants for $60 million making it the only institution out of the nine to be out of

tal and/or type of capital needed to meet the SCAP buffer
• list of steps to address weaknesses in the BHC’s internal processes for managing
and maintaining effective capital
• outline of steps that the BHC will take to repay TARP funds over an allotted
time and reduce reliance on guarantees through FDIC’s TLGP

Should a BHC not meet its required SCAP buffer by November 9, 2009, it will
have to take additional capital assistance through CAP. This may include either
Treasury-approved conversion of the BHCs’ CPP investment to CAP MCP shares
or the issuance of new CAP MCP shares.100 As of June 30, 2009, many financial
institutions have raised significant funds on their own, which could seemingly limit
their need for CAP. Table 2.15 shows how the following banks have already begun
to raise capital in different ways.

Status of CAP
According to Treasury, those institutions that were not part of SCAP have until
November 9, 2009, to apply for the CAP program. When applying for CAP, QFIs
can either apply directly for additional TARP funding in the form of CAP MCP
shares or apply to convert their CPP preferred shares in exchange for CAP MCP For more information on the Capital

Systemically Significant Failing Institutions Program


According to Treasury, the Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”)
program was established to “provide stability and prevent disruptions to financial
markets from the failure of institutions that are critical to the functioning of the
nation’s financial system.”102 As of June 30, 2009, $69.8 billion has been allocated
through the SSFI program to American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), the sole
participant.

Federal Reserve’s Revolving Credit Facility. According to Treasury, the restructuring
will strengthen the company’s finances and is a long-term solution for AIG, its cus-
tomers, U.S. taxpayers, and the financial system as a whole.104 On April 17, 2009,
Treasury and AIG signed the securities exchange agreement and the equity facility
agreement as part of AIG’s ongoing restructuring efforts.105 According to Treasury,
“orderly restructuring is essential to AIG’s repayment of the support it has received
from U.S. taxpayers and to preserving financial stability.”106

Restructuring
AIG’s “orderly restructuring” goes beyond the restructuring of its Government
assistance to include an internal restructuring plan for the company’s assets and
risk positions. This internal restructuring, which includes asset sales, is an attempt
by AIG to “protect and enhance the value of its key businesses, and position these
franchises for the future as more independently run, transparent companies.”107
Subsequent to SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, the following restructuring
transactions have transpired:108
• Government Agreements: Agreements for a securities exchange and eq-
uity capital facility have been executed, and changes to the Federal Reserve
Revolving Credit Facility have been made.
• Separation Activities: Two of AIG’s largest foreign life insurance businesses
— American International Company Ltd. (“AIA”) and American Life Insurance
Company (“ALICO”) — have been put into special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”),
61 QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 61

with significant preferred stock interests in those SPVs used to pay down the
Federal Reserve Revolving Credit Facility.
• Financial Products Corp. Unwind: AIG continues to reduce the risk of its
derivatives portfolios held by its subsidiary, Financial Products Corp.
• Asset Sales: AIG continues to sell off subsidiaries that are not part of its core
business.

Government Agreements
The restructuring of the Government’s assistance package for AIG involved
three new agreements with two Government agencies. The securities exchange
and equity capital facility are Treasury agreements, and the amended Revolving
Credit Facility is with the Federal Reserve. All three agreements are subject to
Government inspection and control requirements. Provisions for the AIG-Treasury
contracts include, among others, inspection rights, internal control establishment,
executive compensation limits, limited lobbying activity, use of funds reporting,
and dividend rate adjustments. Table 2.16 illustrates these provisions in more
detail.

Technically, Treasury has already acquired all 300,000 shares of Series F stock,
but the shares had no value until cash was disbursed from Treasury to AIG. Upon
such disbursements, the facility is said to be “drawn upon,” and the value of Series
F stock increases by the amount of the drawdown.117 In order to draw down the
equity capital facility, AIG must provide an outline of the expected uses of the
funds.118 As of June 30, 2009, AIG has drawn down $1.15 billion to improve the
capitalization of its domestic life insurance and retirement services businesses.119
In March 2009, AIG made $165 million in retention payments to certain
employees in its Financial Products Corp. and Trading Group Inc. subsidiaries
(“AIGFP Retention Payment Amount”).120 In an attempt to recoup the $165 mil-
lion from AIG, Treasury reduced the amount of capital available through the equity
capital facility by $165 million. This reduced the $30 billion value of the facility to
$29.835 billion. In addition to the AIGFP Retention Payment Amount, Treasury
assigned a $165 million commitment fee to AIG for the use of the facility.121 The

commitment fee is due in three installments of $55 million on each of the follow-
ing dates: December 17, 2010; August 17, 2012; and April 17, 2014, and must be
paid from the operational capital of AIG.122

Federal Reserve Revolving Credit Facility


The Federal Reserve will make several modifications to the Revolving Credit
Facility established in September 2008:
• The credit facility will be repaid and reduced in exchange for up to approxi-
mately $26 billion in preferred interests in two special purpose vehicles created
to hold all of the outstanding common stock ALICO and AIA.123
– The total amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced
to $25 billion.
• The Federal Reserve will make up to $8.5 billion in new loans to AIG. The loans Derivative: A financial instrument whose

AIG has also begun a large-scale asset divestiture plan in a move to “protect and

sidiaries and one large office building in Tokyo. When AIG sells an asset, the total
sale price could be in the form of cash or AIG debt assumed by the purchaser. The

Targeted Investment Program and Asset Guarantee Program


Under the Targeted Investment Program (“TIP”), Treasury had invested, as of
June 30, 2009, $40 billion of TARP funds in Citigroup and Bank of America.
Furthermore, under the Asset Guarantee Program (“AGP”), Treasury had commit-
ted a total of $5 billion to support $301 billion of assets held by Citigroup. As of
June 30, 2009, Citigroup is the sole participant in AGP.

• Stated goal of TIP: To invest funds, on a case-by-case basis, “to strengthen the
economy and protect American jobs, savings, and retirement security” where
“the loss of confidence in a financial institution could result in significant mar-
ket disruptions that threaten the financial strength of similarly situated financial
institutions.”128
• Stated goal of AGP: To use insurance protections to help stabilize at-risk
financial institutions. Treasury insures a select pool of troubled assets and col-
lects premiums in return. This program differs from other financial institution
solvency programs in that Treasury does not invest TARP funds in the institu-
tion directly; rather, TARP funds are reserved to cover a portion of the possible
losses in the selected assets.129

Citigroup Inc.
Treasury has provided no financing to Citigroup beyond its earlier CPP, TIP, and
AGP funding. Citigroup has received a total of $50 billion in TARP funding over
three installments:
• CPP: $25 billion on October 28, 2008
• TIP: $20 billion on December 31, 2008
• AGP: $5 billion loss protection on January 15, 2009

In order to preserve the value of these potential tax benefits, Citigroup
must avoid certain events that might be deemed to be a change of ownership.
Accordingly, Citigroup’s plan contains two provisions that discourage the following
changes in ownership:144
• any person or group from becoming a 5% shareholder
• existing 5% (or more) shareholders from acquiring more than a specified num-
ber of additional shares of Citigroup

In an attempt to preserve the future tax benefits of the losses, Citigroup pre-
pared a strategy to dilute any increase in ownership that could jeopardize any of the

As of June 30, 2009, Treasury has provided no financing to Bank of America be-
yond its earlier CPP and TIP funding. Bank of America has received a total of $45
billion in three installments:
• CPP: $15 billion on October 28, 2008
• CPP: $10 billion on January 9, 2009
• TIP: $20 billion on January 16, 2009
70 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

On January 16, 2009, Treasury had announced the potential participation by


Bank of America in AGP. On May 7, 2009, Bank of America announced it was no
longer seeking such assistance.145 As of June 30, 2009, according to Treasury of-
ficials, the matter remains unresolved.

Use of Funds Reports


Under their TIP agreements, based on SIGTARP’s recommendations, both
Citigroup and Bank of America are required to submit a quarterly “use of funds
report.” The use of funds report must include the following information:146
• how TARP funds were used
• the implementation of internal controls for TARP funds
• compliance or non-compliance with restrictions on use of TARP funds

Use of Funds Report: Citigroup, Inc.


On May 12, 2009, Citigroup released its second use of funds report. The 60-
page “TARP Progress Report for First Quarter 2009,” describes the steps taken to
deploy TARP capital received.147 According to the report, Citigroup’s Special TARP
Committee (the “TARP Committee”) of senior executives had approved nearly $45
billion in initiatives to support the U.S. economy and expand the flow of credit.148
The report lists and describes its procedures for deployment of TARP capital as well
as executive compensation reductions.149 Included in Citigroup’s report is a list of
some of the internal controls put in place in connection with TARP-related lend-
ing. The internal controls include the following guidelines:150
• The TARP Committee may approve deployment of TARP-related capital for au-
thorized purposes, up to a certain maximum, without gaining further approval.
• Businesses are required to report quarterly to the TARP Committee on TARP-
related activities, the performance of any investments, and the benefit of any
activities to the flow of credit and the U.S. housing system.
• The TARP Committee will report quarterly to Citigroup’s board of directors on
the specific uses of TARP funds.

ASSET SUPPORT PROGRAMS


Treasury, either on its own or in conjunction with the Federal Reserve, has cre-
ated three programs to support demand in financial markets for hard-to-value
assets and to restart the credit markets by supporting new loans: the Term Asset-
Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”), the Public-Private Investment Program
(“PPIP”), and Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses (“UCSB”).
The Federal Reserve’s TALF program will provide up to $1 trillion in funding
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securi- to institutions pledging asset-backed securities (“ABS”) as collateral. According

packaged together. Through June 30, 2009, the Federal Reserve had facilitated five TALF subscrip-
tions: four subscriptions related to non-mortgage-backed ABS totaling approximate-
ly $28.5 billion in TALF loans, and one commercial mortgage-backed subscription
with no TALF loans issued.
In addition to the expansion of TALF, PPIP, as announced, included two sub-
programs, the Legacy Loans Program and the Legacy Securities Program. The
Legacy Loans Program was intended to utilize equity provided by Treasury and debt
guarantees provided by FDIC to facilitate purchases of legacy mortgage loans held
by banks; the program, however, has been shelved by FDIC. The Legacy Securities
Program utilizes equity provided by Treasury and debt potentially provided by
Treasury, through TARP, and/or the Federal Reserve, through TALF, to facilitate
purchases of legacy mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) held by various financial
institutions.
Through the UCSB program, Treasury will purchase up to $15 billion in securi-
ties backed by Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans.

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility

Program Summary
In November 2008, the Federal Reserve and Treasury announced TALF, under
which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) would issue up to $200
billion in loans to make credit available to consumers and small businesses, backed
by $20 billion of TARP funds.157 Subsequently, in February 2009, Treasury and the
Federal Reserve announced that they were prepared to expand TALF up to $1 tril-
lion, which, according to Treasury, will include up to $80 billion of TARP funds.158
TALF is divided organizationally into two parts:
• lending program – originates loans to eligible institutions
• asset disposition facility – an SPV used by FRBNY to purchase and manage
any collateral surrendered by borrowers from the TALF lending program

made by borrowers from the lending program, then from Treasury’s use of up to
$80 billion in TARP funds to purchase subordinated debt from the SPV, and finally,
from FRBNY non-recourse loans.

TALF Mechanics
As discussed in SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report to Congress, borrowers in the
TALF lending program post ABS as collateral for non-recourse loans issued by
FRBNY. The eligibility of the TALF borrower and the TALF collateral is determined
through an application process.
Prior to SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, only certain newly issued ABS —
securities issued on or after January 1, 2009 — were eligible for TALF. The loans
supporting the ABS were limited to:
• auto, student, and credit-card loans
• equipment loans
• floorplan loans
• commercial and rental fleet leases Floorplan: Revolving lines of credit
used to finance inventories of items.
• receivables related to residential mortgage servicing advances (servicing advance

74 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Much like haircuts, the interest rates for TALF loans are based on the loan
asset class, and most are quoted at a spread over LIBOR, which is a generally
accepted interest rate standard. Interest payments on the TALF loans are payable
monthly or quarterly, depending on the frequency of the interest payments on the
collateral. TALF loan interest rates may be fixed or floating, as determined by the
collateral, and are generally below what is currently available in the private mar-
kets. FRBNY posts the interest rates for TALF loans on its website.

Program Developments
As the TALF program matures, a number of updates have been introduced, which,
according to the Federal Reserve, serve three primary purposes:
• to maximize TALF’s impact on all sectors of the ABS market
• to provide transparency to investors and the marketplace
• to protect the taxpayers’ interests

Subsequent to SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, the following program-relat-


ed developments occurred and are discussed in greater detail in this section:
• Three additional TALF subscriptions (for a total of five) were conducted by
FRBNY.

• A proposed change to Standard & Poor’s (“S&P’s”) current ratings methodology
for CMBS could result in ratings downgrades for CMBS that might otherwise
have been eligible collateral for TALF loans.
• CMBS-specific haircut methodology was established.
• The role of collateral monitor for CMBS was created to act as another layer of
risk mitigation.
• Updated program mechanics were introduced for risk mitigation through man-
datory pre-payment of principal on loans collateralized by CMBS.
• The Federal Reserve hired a law firm to assist in the performance of a fraud risk
assessment for TALF.

TALF Subscription Activity


As of June 30, 2009, FRBNY had conducted five subscriptions of TALF. Four
of these subscriptions related to newly issued, non-mortgage-backed ABS (and
occurred in the first part of March, April, May, and June), and one subscription
related to newly issued CMBS (which occurred on June 16, 2009) for which there
was no activity.

Subscriptions Using Non-Mortgage-Backed Collateral


As of June 30, 2009, FRBNY had facilitated four TALF non-mortgage-backed ABS
subscriptions, totaling approximately $28.5 billion. As Table 2.20 illustrates, TALF
lending for non-mortgage-backed ABS has grown since the initial subscription in
March 2009.
TALF loans issued for the purchase of ABS backed by student loans and ABS
backed by loans guaranteed by the SBA may have up to five-year maturities, as
opposed to up to three-year maturities for the non-mortgage-backed loans extended
thus far.

Subscriptions Using Mortgage-Backed Collateral


On June 16, 2009, FRBNY concluded the first subscription of TALF related to
newly issued CMBS. This was the first subscription with mortgage-backed securi-
ties as collateral. No loans were issued to borrowers during the subscription. Prior
to the subscription, during public remarks, the President of FRBNY indicated
that participation would be minimal because there had been little advance notice.
According to industry sources, for commercial real estate “it can take as long as six
months from the time a loan is originated to when it’s securitized.”159

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities


On May 1, 2009, the Federal Reserve issued a press release announcing the
expansion of TALF to include qualifying newly issued CMBS as eligible collateral
for TALF loans.160 On May 19, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced that legacy
CMBS would also be included.161 According to the Federal Reserve, “The CMBS
market came to a standstill in mid-2008. The inclusion of CMBS as eligible col-

commercial mortgage borrowers discovered that commercial lenders were not will-

to make the final bullet payment without financing, this has created a potential
crisis in the commercial real estate market.

Which CMBS Will Meet Collateral Eligibility Requirements?


In order to qualify as TALF collateral, newly issued CMBS and legacy CMBS must
meet a number of eligibility requirements. Some eligibility requirements are the
same for both newly issued and legacy CMBS:163
• Eligible CMBS must evidence an interest in a trust fund consisting of fully
funded mortgage loans and not other CMBS, other securities, interest rate swap
or cap instruments, or other hedging instruments.
• Eligible CMBS must have a credit rating in the highest long-term investment-
grade rating category from at least two TALF CMBS-eligible rating agencies and
must not have a credit rating below the highest investment-grade rating category
from any TALF CMBS-eligible rating agency.
• Eligible CMBS must entitle its holders to payments of principal and interest.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 77

• Eligible CMBS must not be issued by an agency or instrumentality of the


United States or a Government-sponsored enterprise.
• Eligible CMBS must include a mortgage or similar instrument on a fee or lease-
hold interest in one or more income-generating commercial properties.

Some eligibility requirements for newly issued CMBS are similar to require-
ments for legacy CMBS with minor, but important, differences:

Newly issued CMBS:164


• Eligible newly issued CMBS must evidence first-priority mortgage loans that are
current in payment at the time of securitization.
• Eligible newly issued CMBS must not be junior to other securities with claims
on the same pool of loans.
• Each property underlying eligible newly issued CMBS must be located in the
United States or one of its territories.

Legacy CMBS:165
• Eligible legacy CMBS must not have been junior to other securities with claims
on the same pool of loans upon issuance.
• As of the TALF loan subscription date, at least 95% of the properties underlying
eligible legacy CMBS, by related loan principal balance, must be located in the
United States or one of its territories.
• If issued during or after 2005, eligible legacy CMBS must be “super senior” in
priority at the time of the TALF loan, meaning the holder is entitled to first pay-
ment. It became common practice in 2005 to sub-tranche (or further subdivide
cash flows), and TALF will only accept the most senior of these sub-tranches in
the highest rating category.166

For CMBS, the Federal Reserve has retained the services of a collateral

party engaged by the Federal Reserve
Treasury are mitigated. For more on the role of the collateral monitor, refer to the

ing mortgage pools.

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations for CMBS


The ratings assigned by NRSROs to CMBS are developed through methodologies
intended to provide a depiction of a financial instrument’s likelihood of default,
or riskiness. NRSRO methodologies often involve proprietary models, drawing on
basic assumptions about the MBS and comparisons of similarly structured invest-
ments, which may periodically be reviewed and could result in changes to ratings
issued by an NRSRO.
78 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

The ratings issued by NRSROs are integral to participation in the TALF pro-
gram. The terms and conditions of TALF have two distinct requirements related to
ratings for pledged collateral:
• At the time of subscription for the TALF loan, pledged collateral must have the
highest long-term investment-grade rating category (e.g., AAA) from two or more
TALF-eligible rating agencies.
• Collateral cannot have a credit rating less than the highest rating from any
TALF-eligible rating agency, nor can it be currently on review or on watch for
downgrade by any of the approved NRSROs.

If collateral pledged for a TALF loan does not possess the necessary ratings, the
borrower may not pledge that collateral as security for a TALF loan.
Prior to the expansion of TALF, the Federal Reserve would accept ratings from
S&P’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings for non-mortgage-backed
ABS. On May 19, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced the addition of two new
NRSROs to its list of acceptable NRSROs — DBRS and Realpoint, LLC — specif-
ically for their experience in dealing with CMBS.167 These five NRSROs are known
as TALF-eligible ratings agencies, because the ratings they issue may be relied on
for determining collateral eligibility. In light of TALF’s expansion to additional asset
classes, “the Federal Reserve will periodically review its use of NRSROs for the
purpose of determining TALF-eligible ABS.”168

Potential Downgrade of CMBS


On May 26, 2009, S&P’s proposed changes to the methodology it uses to rate
CMBS.169 The change in methodology will likely cause significant downgrades for
CMBS issued within the past three years, particularly with respect to the highest
long-term rating. It is being reported that, “25%, 60%, and 90% of the most senior
tranches of the 2005, 2006, and 2007 issuances, respectively, could be downgrad-
ed.”170 On June 26, 2009, S&P affirmed that it would adopt this stance.171 Because
of the eligibility requirement that collateral cannot have a credit rating less than
the highest rating from any major TALF-eligible rating agency, these downgrades by
S&P will render a significant portion of the legacy CMBS market ineligible for par-
ticipation in the TALF program. SIGTARP will follow these developments closely
and report on substantive changes to program design in subsequent reports.

Haircuts for Legacy CMBS Collateral


Similar to collateral requirements for other types of ABS collateral, TALF loans
secured by CMBS require borrowers to put up a portion of their own money, or
the haircut. The amount of the haircut is designed to reflect the inherent riski-
ness of the collateral and the potential for it to decline in value. Haircuts for newly
issued CMBS will be at 15%, increasing by one percentage point for each year of

prices.”173 For example, assume that a TALF borrower pledges legacy CMBS with
a par value of $1,000 for a TALF loan. The CMBS have an average life of five
years, which would require a 15% haircut from the borrower. If the legacy CMBS
were trading at full value, the borrower could get a loan for $850, putting up $150
(taking a $150 haircut). If, however, the legacy CMBS are trading at $700, the
borrower will only be able to secure a $550 TALF loan (the haircut is still $150 but
it now represents 21% of the now-lower market value). This formulation creates an
“effective haircut” that considers the proportion of the haircut to loan amount. The
lower the market value of the legacy CMBS, the higher percentage of market value
will be the haircut. See Table 2.21 for scenarios based on differing market values
for legacy CMBS.
Calculating haircuts in this manner acknowledges that legacy CMBS with large Weighted Average Life: The average

and thus the potential exposure to loss.
Haircuts are designed to consider the weighted average life of a security, which
provides insight regarding how many years it will take to repay the principal. The

assumptions to determine the maximum price at which it will be willing to lend.
This may lead to lower TALF loan values than would have been issued relying
solely on haircuts for risk mitigation, and this practice is designed to ensure that
the total amount of money lent to the borrower will not exceed the total value of
the CMBS should the market continue to deteriorate. The process will also help to
deter collusion, in that a proposed price that is deemed too high may be rejected
by the Federal Reserve. FRBNY has retained the services of a collateral monitor to
assist with this collateral evaluation using certain eligibility requirements provided
by the Federal Reserve. According to FRBNY, the collateral monitor will also assess
the pledged collateral pool for diversity of loan size, geography, property type, and
borrower sponsorship to avoid over-concentration in any particular sector. The
collateral monitor will “estimate the value of the collateral under adverse eco-
nomic conditions, and the FRBNY will not make a loan that exceeds the stressed
valuation.”175
For example, a stressed valuation performed by the collateral monitor may
evaluate the performance of CMBS in light of increased unemployment. Any
increase to the unemployment rate would likely decrease the need for corporate
office space, thus increasing vacancies and reducing rent collection. Commercial
borrowers that recently took out a mortgage for the development of office space
may thus default on the mortgage because of less income, which subsequently
would harm the performance of CMBS. The collateral monitor’s evaluation may
show that CMBS with a market value of $600 under current economic conditions
would be worth $400 if the unemployment rate increases. Under this scenario,
a TALF borrower pledging the CMBS as collateral for a TALF loan would not be
granted a loan greater than the stressed value of $400. Specific information about
the Federal Reserve’s stress valuation of CMBS will not be made public.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 81

On June 16, 2009, FRBNY announced the retention of Trepp LLC as its first
collateral monitor for the assessment of CMBS eligibility, both newly issued and
legacy. According to FRBNY, Trepp will “assist the New York Fed by providing valu-
ation, modeling, analytics and reporting.”176 FRBNY further clarified that it may
rely upon other firms as collateral monitors.

Risk Mitigation through Prepayment


The expansion of TALF includes additional protections to limit the Federal
Reserve’s exposure to losses from collateral declining in value and to encourage
borrowers to repay principal instead of abandoning the collateral at the end of the
TALF loan term.
Any remittance of principal for legacy CMBS must be used immediately to
pay down the TALF loan in proportion to the haircut of that loan.177 In the case of
CMBS, these principal remittances occur when a borrower prepays the mortgage,
entitling the security holder to payment beyond the security’s normal cash flow. For
example, if a TALF borrower obtained a three-year TALF loan with a 15% haircut,
the borrower would keep only 15% of any principal remittance, and the remain-
ing 85% would go to FRBNY to pay down the loan. In other words, if $1,000 of
principal was remitted, the TALF borrower would receive $150, and $850 would go
to FRBNY to pay down principal on the borrower’s TALF loan.
A second CMBS risk mitigation involves the use of interest payments received
by the holder of the CMBS. The interest generated by the CMBS is received by
FRBNY’s custodian and distributed in the following order:
• pay interest on TALF loan
• pay the TALF borrower subject to a cap
• pay down outstanding principal on the TALF loan
Assuming the interest received from CMBS is greater than interest payable on
the TALF loan, interest will be remitted to the TALF borrower until the following
limits are reached (on a five-year TALF loan) after which interest will go to pay
down remaining principal on the TALF loan:
• 25% of the haircut amount (annually) for the first three years of the TALF loan
• 10% of the haircut amount during the fourth year of the TALF loan
• 5% of the haircut amount during the fifth year of the TALF loan

For example, if a TALF borrower puts up a haircut of $100 for a five-year TALF
loan, the interest remitted to the borrower from the CMBS — above and beyond
the interest that is paid to the Federal Reserve for the loan — cannot exceed $25
for the first year, $25 for the second year, $25 for the third year, $10 for the fourth
year, and $5 for the fifth year. All payments more than these amounts go to the
Federal Reserve to repay the principal on the loan. In this way, the surrendering of
assets at the end of the TALF loan term will be discouraged as some principal will
82 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

have been repaid and the borrower will have retained some “skin in the game.”
Otherwise, a borrower could recoup its entire haircut and profit, and have no
incentive to pay off the loan, and reacquire the CMBS, at the end of the loan.

Fraud Risk Assessment


In a May 22, 2009, letter to SIGTARP, the Federal Reserve indicated that FRBNY
had retained the services of a law firm to assist in the performance of a compre-
hensive fraud risk assessment for TALF.178 According to the Federal Reserve, the
assessment “will include a review of fraud cases and investigation consultation
with a wide range of relevant law enforcement, government agencies, academics,
law firms and public and private investors and recommendations regarding addi-
tional measures, strategies or controls to reduce the potential fraud risk associated
with the program.”179 SIGTARP has met with FRBNY and a representative of the
law firm.
Additionally, FRBNY is developing an inspection program of the primary deal-
ers facilitating TALF loans to ensure they are performing the required due dili-
gence of collateral and borrowers.

Performance of ABS Markets


On June 4, 2009, the president and chief executive of FRBNY, William C. Dudley,
addressed the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and Pension
Real Estate Association’s Public-Private Investment Program Summit in New York
City regarding TALF.
During the remarks, Mr. Dudley stated, “TALF loans have accounted for a bit
more than half of total issuance volume of ABS (since the initial TALF subscrip-
tion)...this means that the TALF is helping to restart the market, rather than the
TALF being the market.”180 Additionally, Mr. Dudley noted that, “spreads on con-
sumer ABS have been coming down sharply from their peak levels reached late last
year. For example, the spreads on AAA-rated credit card ABS have narrowed from
a peak of about 600 basis points over LIBOR to slightly above 200 basis points
currently.”181

There are arguments for and against mark-to-market accounting for legacy
assets. According to the Chairman of FASB, the mark-to-market accounting
is seen in the current environment by financial institutions and their trade
groups as “overstating the extent of losses and capital erosion and as a fac-
tor exacerbating the crisis.”192 On the other side of the argument, investors,
financial analysts, and other users of financial reporting “have urged [FASB]

Legacy Loans Program


As announced, the Legacy Loans Program was designed to purchase hard-to-
value real estate-related loans from financial institutions.196 In the Legacy Loans
Program, Treasury would form PPIFs with private investors and would match the
private investment dollar-for-dollar (i.e., for every $1 invested by the private inves-
tor, Treasury would also invest $1). FDIC would provide a debt guarantee of up to
a 6-to-1 leverage ratio (i.e., debt-to-equity ratio) on the pool of loans. The allowed
amount of leverage would be predetermined by FDIC after an independent, third-
party analysis of the loans.

recent successful capital-raising efforts by financial institutions as reflecting
“renewed investor confidence in our banking system.”197 SIGTARP will provide
updates when more information on the Legacy Loans Program is available.

Legacy Securities Program


According to Treasury, “the Legacy Securities Program is intended to restart the
market for legacy securities, allowing banks and other financial institutions to
free up capital and stimulate the extension of new credit.”198 Legacy securities are
ABS supported by a pool of real estate-related loans, and for the purposes of PPIP,
issued before January 1, 2009.199 Private investors and Treasury will co-invest to
purchase these assets from banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, pension
funds, and any other eligible institutions.200
In the Legacy Securities Program, Treasury will invest equity alongside pri-
vate investors in a PPIF. In addition to the equity investment, Treasury will also
offer debt financing equal to or double the amount of the private investment.
Furthermore, Treasury and the Federal Reserve will allow the PPIFs to obtain ad-
ditional financing, up to certain limits, from the Federal Reserve’s TALF program
for those assets that are eligible for TALF (currently only CMBS).201

Expanded TALF
The Federal Reserve, as described in the previous “Term Asset-Backed Securities
Loan Facility” discussion in this report, has expanded its eligible asset classes to
include legacy CMBS. This expansion allows, but does not require, participants in
PPIP’s Legacy Securities Program to also participate in TALF, subject to applicable
haircuts. According to OFS, “haircuts will be increased so that the combination
of Treasury- and TALF-supplied debt will not exceed the total amount of TALF
debt that would be available leveraging the PPIF equity alone.”202 See the previous
“Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility” discussion in this section for more
information on the mechanics and the eligible collateral of TALF. Treasury and
the Federal Reserve are continuing to assess whether to expand TALF to new and
legacy RMBS, but, as of June 30, 2009, no final decision has been made.

PPIF Manager Selection


According to Treasury officials, fund manager selection was a multistep process
that began with the initial applications; followed by minimum criteria review; then
final committee review, interviews, and comparison; and culminated in the selec-
tion of fund managers. All of the applicants were reportedly evaluated by a commit-
tee of five voting members and two non-voting members.203
Treasury reported that it initially received 141 applications and narrowed them
down to 104 applicants based on incomplete or duplicative applications and other
eligibility criteria. The 104 applicants were then compared against the minimum
criteria. Failure to meet any two of the five criteria reportedly disqualified an ap-
plicant. According to Treasury officials, these criteria included, but were not limited
to:204

• a demonstrated ability to raise $500 million of private capital


• a demonstrated experience investing in eligible assets
• having $10 billion in eligible assets under management
• a demonstrated capacity to manage the fund consistent with Treasury’s goals for
the program
• being headquartered in the United States

After eliminating the non-conforming applicants and dropouts, the committee


narrowed the possible fund managers to 11 for further review, interviews, and rank-
ing.205 Upon completion, Treasury announced the following fund managers:206

• AllianceBernstein, L.P. and its sub-advisors Greenfield Partners, LLC, and


Rialto Capital Management, LLC
• Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., and GE Capital Real Estate
• BlackRock, Inc.

• Marathon Asset Management, L.P.
• Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.
• RLJ Western Asset Management, L.P.
• The TCW Group, Inc.
• Wellington Management Company, L.L.P.

In addition to the 9 announced fund managers, 10 leading small-, veteran-, mi-


nority-, and women-owned businesses will provide “meaningful” partnership roles
to the PPIFs.207 These roles include, but are not limited to, asset management,
capital raising, broker-dealer, investment sourcing, research, advisory, cash manage-
ment, and fund administration.208
88 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Terms Agreed to by Fund Managers


On July 8, 2009, Treasury announced the terms of its equity and debt term sheets
with the newly selected PPIF managers that will work to “generate attractive
returns” through “long-term opportunistic investments.”209 The debt term sheet set
forth three financing options with respective leverage limits for the PPIF. The PPIF
will purchase originally AAA-rated CMBS and non-agency RMBS issued prior to
2009 and other approved temporary investments.210 The three financing options
are:

1. equity matching, 100% debt financing as a percentage of total equity, and no


additional debt financing is allowed
2. equity matching, 50% debt financing as a percentage of total equity, and a lever-
age cap for borrowing from a third party at 5:1
3. equity matching, 50% debt financing as a percentage of total equity, and lever-
age from the Federal Reserve through TALF at an amount in combination with
Treasury that will “not exceed the total amount of TALF debt that would be
available leveraging the PPIF equity alone”211
Temporary Investments: For the pur-
poses of PPIP, they are cash, Treasur- A fund manager has several options to leverage PPIF funds, depending on
ies, money market mutual funds, and whether it seeks to purchase TALF-eligible securities. For example, if a fund man-
interest rate hedges. ager raises $50 in equity and receives a matching $50 Treasury equity investment,
it has three different options to seek Government leverage to buy MBS:

1. The fund manager can borrow 100% of equity ($100) from Treasury as a non-
recourse loan and buy a total of $200 worth of MBS. Under this option, the
fund manager may not borrow from TALF.
2. The fund manager can borrow nothing from Treasury and apply the full $100
of equity to TALF as a haircut. If a particular MBS has a 20% haircut, the fund
manager could obtain a maximum non-recourse loan from FRBNY of $400 and
purchase $500 of MBS.
3. The fund manager can borrow 50% of the total equity ($50) from Treasury un-
der PPIP and seek additional funding from TALF to purchase MBS. However,
because of the prohibition of leverage-on-leverage in the interaction between
PPIP and TALF, the total leverage for the PPIF (using both Treasury and TALF
debt) is based on the original equity. In this example, because the equity is
$100, the maximum leverage at a 20% TALF haircut is $400. Because the PPIF
fund manager has already received a $50 loan from Treasury through PPIP, the
maximum additional leverage that it can receive from TALF is an additional
$350, giving the fund manager the ability to purchase $500 worth of MBS. As
the program was originally designed, the PPIF would have been able to apply
both the PPIP debt and equity ($150 total) to TALF as the haircut, and in this
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 89

example, would have been able to receive a $600 loan under TALF and thus
able to purchase $750 worth of MBS.

If a PPIF is going to use third-party debt, the PPIF must form a subsidiary to
finance, acquire, and hold the assets. Any recourse from the third-party debt is
restricted to the subsidiary, and no further actions can be taken against the PPIF or
its investors.
As the PPIFs begin to have normal operations, the fund managers will be
required to submit an audited annual report, unaudited quarterly reports, monthly
reports, and in some cases, weekly reports on behalf of the PPIFs. In the monthly
reports the PPIF is required to report on the following: CUSIP: Unique identifying number

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY SUPPORT PROGRAMS


For the U.S. automotive industry, the quarter ending June 30, 2009, was domi-
nated by the bankruptcy filings of Chrysler and General Motors (“GM”). TARP is
playing a key role in the financing of these companies as they undergo and emerge
from bankruptcy, as well as in the support of critical related industries.
Through TARP, Treasury has initiated three distinct programs to support
the automotive industry: the Automotive Industry Financing Program (“AIFP”)
to assist automakers and their financing arms,214 the Auto Supplier Support
Program (“ASSP”) to assist the firms that supply them,215 and the Auto Warranty
Commitment Program (“AWCP”) to support consumer confidence in these compa-
nies.216 Investments in these three programs are summarized in Table 2.26.

industry that would pose a systemic risk to financial market stability and have a
negative effect on the U.S. economy.217

Status of Funds
As of June 30, 2009, Treasury had committed, through AIFP, $79.3 billion to two
automakers and their two financial affiliates of which, $130.8 million has been
repaid.218 Treasury has received $160 million in dividends and $202 million in
interest payments from its AIFP investments.219 Table 2.27 summarizes Treasury’s
committments under AIFP.

Auto Supplier Support Program


Because of the rapid decline in auto sales, many auto parts suppliers are struggling
to access credit, and they face uncertainty regarding the future of their businesses.
In a typical sales cycle, auto suppliers ship parts to manufacturers 45 to 60 days
before receiving payment. The suppliers typically fund operations by borrowing
from banks, using their receivables as collateral while payments are outstand-
ing. However, the current credit crisis has made it very difficult for suppliers to
get loans from banks. According to Treasury, the Auto Supplier Support Program
(“ASSP”) will provide select suppliers with access to Government-backed protec-
tion that guarantees money owed to them will be paid.220
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 95

Program Goals
On March 19, 2009, Treasury announced the formation of ASSP to provide up to
$5 billion in financing to suppliers to the U.S. auto manufacturing industry. The
program was designed to give suppliers confidence to continue shipping parts, pay-
ing employees, and maintaining operations.221 Although all domestic auto compa-
nies were eligible to participate, Chrysler and General Motors are the only two that
decided to take advantage of the program. However, any domestic supplier that
ships parts to Chrysler or General Motors is also eligible, as well as any receivables
for goods shipped after March 19, 2009, purchased on qualifying terms between
an eligible manufacturer and an eligible supplier. The auto companies can select
the suppliers and specific receivable accounts that will be included in the program.
Selected suppliers sell their receivable accounts into the program at a small dis-
count, as a fee for participation.222

Status of Funds
On April 9, 2009, Treasury executed agreements to fund $5 billion under ASSP.
Both Chrysler and General Motors created special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) to Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”): An

Because most suppliers have been paid during the course of the companies’
bankruptcies, a diminished amount of activity is expected under the program going
forward. Under the original loan agreements for each SPV, the Treasury commit-
ments could be decreased if the outstanding amounts did not exceed the commit-
ments made on June 30, 2009. At the request of Chrysler and GM, on
July 8, 2009, the original commitments were reduced to $1.0 billion and
$2.5 billion respectively.224

Auto Warranty Commitment Program


How to maintain consumer confidence during their respective restructuring
periods was a major issue for both Chrysler and GM. With the long-term futures
of Chrysler and GM in doubt, there were concerns that some consumers would
be reluctant to purchase vehicles because the manufacturers might not be able to
honor the warranties. The Auto Warranty Commitment Program (“AWCP”) was
created to alleviate these concerns and encourage consumers to continue buying
Chrysler and GM vehicles.

Program Goals
On March 30, 2009, Treasury announced the creation of AWCP to give retail
consumers confidence that their automobile warranties would be honored. The
program covers all warranties on new vehicles purchased during the participating
manufacturers’ restructuring period. Any retail consumer who purchases a new
vehicle during this time will be automatically eligible for the program. According to
Treasury, the program is designed to encourage the continued viability of restruc-
turing auto companies by mitigating consumer uncertainty and increasing vehicle
sales.225

Status of Funds
Prior to Chrysler’s bankruptcy filing on April 30, 2009, Treasury made $280 mil-
lion available through an SPV to backstop warranties on new car sales. Similarly,
Treasury made $361 million available to GM prior to its bankruptcy.226 Table 2.29
summarizes the funds that have been invested under AWCP.
As of June 30, 2009, the AWCP remains operational but Treasury has stated
that the funds are not expected to be used by the manufacturers. Both companies
are continuing to honor consumer warranties while in bankruptcy. Treasury expects
that after Chrysler and GM emerge from bankruptcy, their respective SPVs will
refund the committed funds back to Treasury.227

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 97

TARP TUTORIAL: BANKRUPTCY

As reported in SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, Chrysler and GM were given 30- and 60-
day extensions, respectively, to submit revised restructuring plans to the President’s Auto
Task Force. After the April Quarterly Report, both manufacturers were unable to obtain
the voluntary stakeholder concessions needed to implement restructuring plans that
would achieve long-term viability; each company thus filed for bankruptcy as a means
to bring those plans to fruition. A basic tutorial on the bankruptcy process is provided
below.
For more information on the President’s Auto Task Force see Section 2: “TARP
Overview” in SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report.

When a company’s total liabilities are greater than its assets, it is considered insolvent (debts) are greater than its total

and it has several options:

• pursuit of operational solutions such as merging with another company, refinancing


business loans, or cutting costs
• dissolution of the company
• negotiations or some form of out-of-court arrangement with its creditors to pay off
debts
• bankruptcy

Dissolution
Among the alternatives available to financially troubled businesses (i.e., businesses that

the debt owed to the creditor for an
amount less than the original amount Bankruptcy
owed. If a business fails to reach an agreement with its creditors to restructure obligations in
order to achieve more manageable payment terms, it may have to file for bankruptcy re-
lief. The principal purpose of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) is to grant a
“fresh start” to the “honest but unfortunate debtor.”229 In this context, a fresh start signifies
“a new opportunity in life and a clear field for future effort, unhampered by the pressure
and discouragement of preexisting debt.”230

important to note that not all debts are discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding; but rather
each form of bankruptcy (discussed in detail below) identifies the various categories of
debts that are granted a discharge.
The Code is a series of Federal statutes codified under Title 11 of the United States
Code and is the “uniform federal law that governs all bankruptcy cases.”232 Within Title 11,
several subsections define the different types of bankruptcy proceedings (e.g., Chapter 7,
Chapter 9, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, etc.) available to individuals, businesses, and other
entities.

What Happens in Bankruptcy


Two common forms of bankruptcy available to businesses are liquidation and reorganization.

Liquidation
Chapter 7 of the Code relates to liquidation in bankruptcy, which is the most common
form of bankruptcy filed by businesses in the United States.233 According to a press
release from the U.S. Courts, Chapter 7 – Liquidation “is used only when the corporation
sees no hope of being able to operate successfully or to obtain the necessary creditor
agreement.”234
The process of liquidation refers to the sale of a company’s assets for the satisfac-
tion of creditors and the subsequent dissolution of the business. Under Chapter 7, a

ness reorganization “can be used as the means of working out an arrangement with credi-
tors where the debtor is allowed to continue in business …[or] can be used for a complete
reorganization of the corporation.”236
Under Chapter 11, the company files a “plan of reorganization,” which is prepared in
cooperation with its creditors, and details the necessary steps the company must take in
order to emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity. The plan of reorganization may call
for any number of actions the business and its advisors deem necessary for a successful
reorganization of the business, including, for example, the sale of non-essential business
units to third parties or the reworking of labor contracts.237 The “plan of reorganization”
must be reasonable in its attempt to restructure the business because it must obtain Creditors’ Committee: A group
approval from the creditors’ committee and the bankruptcy court. Since the plan of representing several entities that
have claims against a business in a
reorganization generally includes concessions from all interested parties, showing favor

to any particular group of creditors will likely cause the plan to be rejected by competing
creditors whose interests are impacted more severely by the bankruptcy. Further, as it
ordinarily occurs, if a creditor or class of creditors rejects a plan of reorganization, then
the bankruptcy court may confirm or approve the plan over such objection — but only
upon a demonstration that the creditor or creditor class would have fared no better had
the bankruptcy been processed under Chapter 7 – Liquidation.

Prepackaged Reorganization
A prepackaged bankruptcy is similar to a workout and refers to a proceeding in which
the business filing for protection has met with its creditors to negotiate their expected re-
coveries prior to the actual filing of a petition under the Code. The goal of a prepackaged
bankruptcy is to shorten the bankruptcy process to save fees a company would typically
pay to bankruptcy advisors. A prepackaged bankruptcy also minimizes the amount of time
spent in bankruptcy restructuring a business and, consequently, can return an operating
entity to its core business and generating revenue much sooner than if it had participated
in a standard reorganization.

Hierarchy of Claims, by Priority


The term “priority” refers to the order in which unsecured claims in a bankruptcy case are
paid from the money available in the bankruptcy estate. Claims in the higher priority are
paid in full before claims in a lower priority receive anything. Once a company pays all of
its debts, any remaining assets are returned to its shareholders.
Section 726 of the Code lists six classes of unsecured creditors in a bankruptcy, in
order of priority.238 Table 2.30 provides a summary outline of those classes. Note the first
grouping of claims is defined by Section 507 of the Code and is further broken down into
a sub-hierarchy.

Trustee
The role of the trustee varies greatly, based on the chapter under which a company files. A
Chapter 7 trustee is broadly responsible for managing the financial aspects of a bankrupt
business undergoing liquidation. The trustee can be an individual or a team of professionals
who, among other things:
• account for property received
• investigate the financial affairs of the debtor
102 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

• review proofs of claim


• oppose the debtor’s discharge, if appropriate
• furnish information to interested parties
• report on the administration of the case

The trustee is paid out of the proceeds of the liquidation and is second in order among
the first class of unsecured creditors.
A Chapter 11 trustee serves more in an administrative capacity, focusing more directly
on the reporting requirements associated with the bankruptcy case and fee applications
for compensation that are submitted by professionals and advisors rendering bankruptcy-
related services to the company. The trustee receives a quarterly fee from the business as
compensation.

Bankruptcy Court
Bankruptcies, both personal and corporate, are administered by U.S. Federal courts; bank-
ruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court. The Federal court system is composed of 94
districts, all of which handle bankruptcy matters, and substantially all of which have a court
specifically designated for bankruptcy.239

Example of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Process


This section provides a simplified step-by-step example of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy pro-
cess for a hypothetical business, “Sample Company,” walking through the key steps from
the initial realization that it cannot repay its creditors to the new company emerging from
the process. A bankruptcy process can be lengthy, especially if the negotiation with credi-
tors is difficult — all it takes is one creditor to delay the approval of a restructuring plan (or
a pre-bankruptcy restructuring agreement). The process detailed below and illustrated in
Figure 2.14 for Sample Company is a simplified version, focused on the key steps of the
process.
A. Sample Company is operating in a difficult market environment. Its revenues have
shrunk, but its obligations have not. It discovers that it no longer can afford to pay its
debts to its creditors without cutting back on its variable costs. It cancels all non-
essential purchases, suspends dividend payments to its shareholders, but still this
does not generate enough cash to pay its obligations. Sample Company begins to
lay off employees to shrink its payroll and closes unprofitable plants to cut operating
costs, but still cannot bring its expenditures in line with its new, lower revenues.

because the company’s debt was not highly rated, to obligations for employees’ benefit
plans (such as pensions). Seeing that it cannot continue to meet all these obligations,
Sample Company seeks to renegotiate some or all of its debts to a more manageable
level.
C. Some of Sample Company’s creditors agree to reduce the debt that they are owed,
thinking that a voluntary restructuring is preferable to a court-administrated bankruptcy
or liquidation where it is uncertain what they would receive for their claims. However,
certain creditors are uncompromising, thinking that the company’s offers understate
what they think the company can actually afford to repay them. They refuse the offer of
104 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

a voluntary restructuring, which forces Sample Company to file a petition for Chapter
11 bankruptcy with the U.S. court in its district. With its filing, Sample Company
receives an “Automatic Stay” meaning that creditors are temporarily prohibited from
enforcing their claims outside of the bankruptcy forum.
D. With the filing of the bankruptcy petition, Sample Company becomes what is known as
Debtor in Possession (“DIP”): A com- the debtor in possession (“DIP”). DIPs retain possession of the operations and assets
pany which is operating under Chapter
of the business until otherwise ordered by the court (which could be the case if the
11 bankruptcy protection, which still
technically owns its assets but is court ultimately decides Chapter 7 – Liquidation is the best option and appoints a
operating them to maximize the benefit trustee to manage the company through that process). Sample Company also provides
to its creditors. to the court a range of documents certifying its assets and liabilities, income and ex-
penditures, contracts and unexpired leases, and a statement certifying its financial af-
fairs. Meanwhile, the U.S. Trustee, appointed by the court to monitor Sample Company
during its bankruptcy, works with creditors to assemble a Creditors’ Committee. The
Creditors’ Committee hires an attorney to advocate for the creditors’ claims with the
court. Any creditors whose claims are not listed on the schedules provided to the court
by Sample Company must provide a proof of claim to be included in the case.
E. As DIP, Sample Company assumes all of the fiduciary responsibilities of a trustee,
aside from the investigative role, and uses this authority to hire a team of lawyers,
accountants, consultants, appraisers, and auctioneers — whose compensation
represents unsecured claims with priority over all other unsecured claims except
“super-priorities” — to help it throughout the restructuring process. Sample Company
works with this team to develop a restructuring plan that both shrinks the company and
its debts. Ideally, Sample Company will emerge as a leaner, profitable company with
more manageable debts. The plan that Sample Company develops includes closing
down additional unprofitable plants, selling certain business lines, and converting some
of its debt holders into equity holders by exchanging their bonds or loans for shares
of stock, making them partial owners in the new company. In addition to selling just
portions of a business, a company’s restructuring plan can include an arrangement
whereby the entire business is sold to another company (a Section 363 sale). An
example of a Section 363 sale can be found in the recent restructuring of Chrysler,
where the operating business was sold to a new group of owners.
F. Once Sample Company has developed its restructuring plan, it must seek the consent
of its creditors to approve the plan. In order to receive that consent, Sample Company
files a disclosure providing creditors with information about its plan and Sample
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 105

Company’s affairs so that they can make an informed decision about the proposed
plan. The court then holds a hearing. In Sample Company’s case, the creditors approve
its plan, which is confirmed in a court hearing as being feasible, in good faith, and com-
pliant with the Code, allowing it to begin implementation of the restructuring process.
Additionally, the confirmation of the plan effectively discharges Sample Company from
its dischargeable pre-filing debts (i.e., debts not part of the bankruptcy claims), and
replaces them with the agreed-upon obligations contained in the plan.240
G. Since Sample Company has taken on additional expenses such as lawyers and
consultants, its plan provides for operating capital to help it complete the restructuring
process. It obtains this financing, called “DIP financing,” from a bank which receives DIP Financing: A credit line used
court-appointed “super-priority” in claims — placing it above all other unsecured credi- during Chapter 11 proceedings to
tors in the priority list. maintain the value of a company’s
asset base.
H. After the confirmation of the restructuring plan, Sample Company operates as a func-
tioning company; it is now obligated to begin making any payments it promised in the
plan, and is bound by all commitments contained in the provisions of the plan (which
supersede its pre-bankruptcy contracts). Sample Company’s restructuring process is
relatively straightforward, and it achieves the key objectives rapidly. It sells several non-
core units, and converts the debt to its bondholders to an equity stake as determined
in the plan. Further, it converts some of the unpaid obligations to employees’ benefit
plans into equity stakes. Throughout this process Sample Company reports regularly
to the court and the Creditors’ Committee on the progress made since confirmation of
the plan.
I. As Sample Company nears the completion of its restructuring and recapitalization
process, it seeks exit financing — actually a key component of its restructuring plan. It
negotiates an exit financing facility from a major lender, which it uses to pay off certain
creditors’ claims and to fund its ongoing operations after bankruptcy. This exit financ-
ing will enable the new company to emerge from bankruptcy in a strong, competitive
state.
J. Once Sample Company completes its restructuring plan, it returns to court and applies
for a “final decree” which certifies consummation of the plan. This enables the newly
restructured, recapitalized Sample Company to emerge from bankruptcy.
K. The “new” Sample Company begins operating, and uses its new financial health to
operate more competitively in its market.

TARP Support for Chrysler


As shown in Table 2.26, Treasury is using a number of different TARP investment
vehicles to support Chrysler. Treasury has stated that its intention is to maximize
taxpayer return, while at the same time maximizing the likelihood of the New
Chrysler succeeding.244 Prior to Chrysler’s bankruptcy, Treasury increased its initial
$4.5 billion loan by $280.1 million, which was set aside for the Auto Warranty
Commitment Program (“AWCP”) and which will be returned to Treasury. While
Chrysler was in bankruptcy, Treasury committed to provide a loan of $3.8 billion
in DIP financing. On June 10, 2009, Treasury committed $6.6 billion in new debt
obligations. Treasury does not expect to receive repayment for its DIP investments
but expects repayment of $6.6 billion in loans and has received an 8% pro forma
equity share in New Chrysler.245 Treasury will also select four of the initial inde-
pendent directors, but has claimed that it will play no other role in management
or governance of the company.246 Treasury anticipates having quarterly meetings
with Chrysler leadership that focus solely on financial reporting and key operating
metrics.

Financing
Chrysler entered into an agreement with GMAC, pursuant to which GMAC agreed
to provide certain dealer and retail financing. GMAC will have financing agree-
ments with both Chrysler and GM post-bankruptcy. Treasury has provided GMAC
with additional capital to support its anticipated growth in Chrysler dealer and
retail loans.247

In accordance with the March 31, 2009, deadline, the Obama Administration
determined that GM’s restructuring plan was not likely to lead to viability on a
stand-alone basis. The Government laid out the framework for GM to achieve vi-
ability through a substantially more aggressive restructuring plan.250 On June 1, 2009,
GM filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Under its reorganization plan, New GM will purchase from GM the assets needed

As shown in Table 2.26, Treasury has made a number of investments in GM. In
December 2008, Treasury made two initial investments in GM: one that provided
$884 million and one that committed to provide GM an additional $13.4 billion in
financing. Treasury made three amendments to the $13.4 billion loan bringing the
total of that loan, as of May 27, 2009, to $19.8 billion, which includes $361 mil-

On May 29, 2009, Treasury exchanged its $884 million loan in GM for a por-

GMAC
The majority of automobile purchases in the United States are financed, including
an estimated 80% – 90% of consumer purchases and substantially all dealer inven-
tory purchases.256 In fall 2008, credit began to tighten and it became increasingly
difficult for both dealers and customers to obtain credit for automobile purchases.
It has been estimated that 2 million to 2.5 million vehicle sales were lost because
either dealers or customers could not obtain credit.257 Treasury has stated that it
believes its investment in GMAC will help provide a reliable source of financing
to both auto dealers and customers seeking to buy cars, and that a recapitalized
GMAC will offer strong credit opportunities, help stabilize the auto financing mar-
ket, and contribute to the overall economic recovery.258 Under AIFP, Treasury has
invested $13.4 billion in GMAC.259
GMAC has entered a master financing agreement with Chrysler to provide
certain dealer and retail financing.260

Status of Funding
On December 29, 2008, Treasury invested $5 billion in GMAC. At the time of this
investment, GMAC reorganized into a bank holding company and thus became
eligible to receive TARP funds and participate in other Government support
programs.261 On May 21, 2009, Treasury purchased an additional $7.5 billion of
mandatorily convertible preferred equity in GMAC.262 Of this $7.5 billion invest-
ment, $4 billion will support GMAC’s anticipated growth in Chrysler dealer and
retail loans.263 The additional $3.5 billion will help GMAC address its capital needs
as identified through the SCAP stress test completed with the Federal Reserve.264
At the time of the initial Treasury investment, the Federal Reserve required
GMAC to raise $2 billion of new equity. GMAC raised $1.1 billion through private
investments, and Treasury loaned GM the remaining $884 million to purchase
GMAC equity.265 On May 29, 2009, Treasury exchanged this $884 million loan to
GM for a portion of GM’s common equity interests in GMAC. As a result of that
exchange, Treasury now holds 35.4% of GMAC’s common shares.266 Treasury’s
mandatorily convertible preferred shares may be converted to common shares at
GMAC’s option with the approval of the Federal Reserve, though any conversion by
GMAC must not result in Treasury owning in excess of 49% of GMAC’s common
shares except under the following circumstances:267

• pursuant to GMAC’s capital plan, as agreed upon by the Federal Reserve

Chrysler Financial
In January 2009, Treasury loaned $1.5 billion to a bankruptcy-remote SPV to sup-
port Chrysler Financial retail loan originations. Treasury’s loan forms the senior
portion of the capital structure of the SPV, with Chrysler Financial providing the
junior capital. Treasury’s loan is collateralized by retail auto loans with stronger
credit characteristics (higher credit scores, lower loan-to-value, shorter maturity)
than Chrysler Financial’s broader retail loan portfolio.270
Chrysler Financial has essentially ceased ordinary operations and is winding
down its business.271 Due to the nature of the collateral, Treasury expects to recover
fully the $1.5 billion loan to Chrysler Financial.

Second Lien Program


On April 28, 2009, Treasury released guidelines regarding the Second Lien
Program within HAMP. A significant portion of delinquent borrowers carry both
senior- and second-lien debt and therefore may need assistance with both loans to
remain in their homes. In other cases, homeowners may be able to pay their first
mortgage, but the second mortgage increases the monthly payments to a level that
is no longer affordable. According to Treasury, the Second Lien Program was de-
signed to create substantially affordable mortgage payments for homeowners who
qualify for a first-mortgage modification but still struggle to make their monthly

Second Lien Guidelines


According to Treasury, prior to the MHA program, mortgage servicers often re-
frained from completing loan modifications due to a lack of common standards. In
addition to the guidelines in the original modification program, on April 28, 2009,
Treasury issued guidelines on second-lien modifications. These guidelines include
the following:282

• The second lien is automatically modified when a first lien is modified.


• The second-lien modification may not delay first-lien modification.
• Borrower, servicer, and lender incentives have been aligned to complete modifi-
cations at an affordable and sustainable level.
• Payments are designed under the principle of “pay for success,” which aligns
incentives to reduce payments in a way that is most cost-effective for taxpayers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
As discussed in SIGTARP’s previous reports, the executive compensation restric-
tions set forth in EESA have been changed over time by regulations, amendments,
and notices. On February 17, 2009, Section 111 of EESA was amended by Section
7001 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), which
further required that Treasury promulgate regulations to implement ARRA amend-
ments.283 On June 10, 2009, Treasury released its Interim Final Rule on TARP
Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance (the “Rule”), which imple-
ments EESA as amended by ARRA. The Rule is an “Interim Final Rule” — mean-
ing it took effect upon its publication in the Federal Register on June 15, 2009, but
there is a 60-day public comment period after which it may be changed. The Rule
“implement[s] ARRA provisions, consolidates all of the executive-compensation-
related provisions that are specifically directed at TARP recipients into a single rule
(superseding all prior rules and guidance), and utilizes the discretion granted to the
[Treasury] Secretary under ARRA to adopt additional standards, some of which are
adapted from principles set forth” in guidance previously provided by Treasury in
February 2009.284 Figure 2.17 describes the changes in executive compensation re-
strictions set forth by Congress and included in Treasury regulations over time. For
more information on the guidelines in the figure, see Section 2: “TARP Overview”
in SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report.

The Rule applies to all TARP recipients, defined in the Rule to include “any
entity that has received or holds a commitment to receive financial assistance” pro-
vided under TARP or any entity that owns 50% or more, or is 50% or more owned
by such an entity.285 In general, the executive compensation restrictions in the
Rule apply only so long as the TARP recipient has an “obligation” to Treasury; an
“obligation” does not include Treasury holding warrants to purchase common stock
of the TARP recipient.286
In general, the Rule defines financial assistance as “any funds or fund com-
mitment provided through the purchase of troubled assets” by Treasury through
a direct financial transaction between Treasury and the TARP participant.287 For
example, CPP participants that directly sell preferred stock to Treasury generally
have received financial assistance under the Rule. However, those institutions that
post collateral to and receive loans from TALF are considered to have not “received
financial assistance provided under TARP” and therefore are not subject to the
Rule.288 Table 2.36 shows a breakdown of how the compensation and governance
standards set forth in the Rule apply to all TARP programs.

Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive


Compensation
Under the Rule, Treasury has created a new Office of the Special Master for
TARP Executive Compensation (“Special Master”) which will be responsible for
the review and analysis of executive compensation at TARP recipients.292 Treasury
has appointed Kenneth R. Feinberg, a “highly respected mediator widely praised
for his leadership of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund,” as Special
Master, and he will report to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial
Stability.293 The Special Master’s scope is limited to executive compensation and
corporate governance issues under the Rule for TARP recipients. The Special
Master has the authority to accomplish these objectives:294
• review compensation payments and plans at TARP recipients that have received
“exceptional assistance” (for the SEOs and 20 next most highly compensated
employees) and compensation structures (for the 100 most highly compensated
employees and any executive officers)
• review bonuses, retention awards, and other compensation paid before
February 17, 2009, by TARP recipients and, where appropriate, negotiate
reimbursements
• provide advisory opinions with respect to the application of the Rule and
whether compensation payments and plans are consistent with EESA, TARP,
and the public interest

The Rule requires that the Special Master use specific principles when review-
ing compensation payments and plans at TARP recipients:295

• Risk — The compensation structure should avoid incentives for employees to


take unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten the value of the TARP
recipient, including incentives that reward employees for short-term or tempo-
rary increases in value, performance, or similar measures that may not ultimate-
ly be reflected by an increase in the long-term value of the TARP recipient.
• Taxpayer Return — The compensation structure, and amount payable where
applicable, should reflect the need for the TARP recipient to remain a competi-
tive enterprise, to retain and recruit talented employees who will contribute to
the TARP recipient’s future success, and ultimately to be able to repay TARP
obligations.
• Appropriate Allocation — The compensation structure should appropriately
allocate the components of compensation (e.g., salary, executive pensions,
bonus payments, and incentives). The appropriate allocation may be different
for different positions and for different employees, but generally, in the case of
an executive or other senior-level position, a significant portion of the overall
compensation should be long-term compensation that aligns the interest of the
employee with the interests of shareholders and taxpayers.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 123

• Performance-Based Compensation — An appropriate portion of the com-


pensation should be performance-based over a relevant performance period.
Performance-based compensation should be determined through tailored
metrics that encompass individual performance and/or the performance of the
TARP recipient or a relevant business unit, taking into consideration specific
business objectives.
• Comparable Structures and Payments — The compensation structure
and pay should be consistent with pay for those in similar positions at similar
entities.
• Employee Contribution to TARP Recipient Value — The compensation
structure should reflect the current or prospective contributions of an employee
to the value of the TARP recipient, taking into account multiple factors.

Exceptional Assistance Authority


Under the Rule, the Special Master has specific duties regarding payments and
compensation plans for executives of TARP recipients that have received exception- Exceptional Assistance: Companies

taxpayer interests and to promote long-term shareholder value.296

“Look-Back” Authority
The Special Master will also be conducting a “look-back” review of certain pay-
ments at all TARP recipients made prior to February 17, 2009 (i.e., the date of
ARRA’s enactment). The review will cover all bonuses, retention awards, and other
compensation paid to the 5 SEOs and the next 20 most highly paid employees.297
This review will encompass approximately 436 institutions and 10,900 individu-
als.298 Should the Special Master determine that payments were made inappropri-
ately or contrary to the public interest, he will have responsibility for negotiations
with the TARP recipient and the applicable employee for appropriate reimburse-
ment to the Federal Government.299
124 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 —


Expanded Provisions
The Rule expanded upon three provisions set forth in ARRA. They include review
by the Board Compensation Committee of all employee compensation plans, the
“Say on Pay” requirement, and enhanced luxury expenditure requirements.300

Board Compensation Committee


Under the Rule, each TARP recipient must establish a Board Compensation
Committee (the “Committee”). The Committee must include independent direc-
tors from the company’s board and will convene for the purpose of reviewing all
employee compensation plans. An exception to this requirement is made for TARP
recipients that are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
have received $25 million or less in TARP assistance. These institutions may
have their boards of directors carry out the duties of the Board Compensation
Committee.301
The Committee is required to meet at least semiannually to review with senior
risk officers the proposed compensation plans of all employees and ensure that the
TARP recipient is not unnecessarily exposed to risks. In addition, the Committee
will evaluate SEO compensation plans to ensure that the plans do not encourage
SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of the
TARP recipient. The Rule requires that the Committee submit an annual report to
Treasury providing a narrative description of how it limited any features of compen-
sation plans that would encourage SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks
and any features of compensation plans that could encourage the manipulation of
reported earnings to enhance the compensation of an employee.302

“Say on Pay”
Say on Pay: A non-binding vote by The Rule provides a provision for a non-binding vote by shareholders on executive
shareholders with respect to the compensation, sometimes referred to as “Say on Pay.” This provision requires all
company’s executive compensation, as TARP recipients to permit an annual non-binding vote by shareholders on execu-
disclosed pursuant to SEC regulations. tive compensation as required by SEC regulations.303

Luxury Expenditures
The Rule also addresses corporate luxury expenses; the Rule states that the board
of directors of any institution receiving TARP funds must have a company-wide
policy to define and prevent excessive expenditure on entertainment or events, of-
fice and facility renovations, aviation or other transportation services, and other ac-
tivities or events that are not reasonable expenditures for the following activities:304
• staff development
• reasonable performance incentives
• other activities conducted in the normal course of business operations
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 125

The company must file this policy with Treasury and post it to the company
website no later than (i) 90 days after the closing of the transaction between
Treasury and the TARP recipient or (ii) 90 days following publication of the
Rule.305 The Rule also requires that the PEO and PFO of each institution provide
certification that any expenditures needing approval by a senior executive or the
board of directors have been properly approved.306

Additional Compensation and Governance Standards


According to Treasury, the Rule provides additional requirements that will further
protect shareholder value and increase transparency by all TARP recipients.
In addition to the compensation and corporate governance standards explicitly
required by Congress, the Rule includes three additional requirements: a prohibi-
tion on tax gross-ups, a requirement that TARP recipients provide additional dis-
closure of perquisites, and a requirement that TARP recipients provide disclosure
with respect to compensation consultants.307

Tax Gross-Up
A tax gross-up is typically a specific payment to cover taxes due on certain
compensation. According to Treasury, studies have shown that these payments
cost the companies that provide them far more than the benefits the payments
Tax Gross-Up: A reimbursement
provide to executives. The Rule prohibits TARP recipients from providing any tax
of taxes owed with respect to any
gross-up payments to senior executives and to the next 20 highest-compensated
compensation.
employees.308

Perquisites
In addition to disclosure requirements applicable to perquisites that are already
enforced by the SEC, the Rule subjects TARP recipients to more stringent
requirements. SEC rules require disclosure of perquisites given to the top five
executive officers. The Rule expands this requirement to include perquisites over
$25,000 given to any employees of TARP recipients subject to the bonus limita-
tions described in Table 2.37. Additionally, firms must provide a narrative descrip-
tion and justification for these benefits.309

Compensation Consultants
Many firms hire compensation consultants to determine appropriate pay levels
for top executives. According to Treasury, these consultants may have influence
over the setting of compensation, and it may be helpful for shareholders to know
whether TARP recipients have hired an outside consultant. More specifically, the
Rule requires all TARP recipients to provide a narrative description of the services
provided by such consultants and a description of any benchmarking analysis
performed by the consultants.310
126 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Certifications
As recommended by SIGTARP, the Rule provides certification and reporting
requirements on the compensation and corporate governance guidelines that apply
to TARP recipients. All certifications provided by TARP recipients must name the
SEOs and the 20 most highly compensated employees for the current fiscal year.
Under the Rule, this determination is based on their prior fiscal year’s total annual
compensation. Each certification must also provide a statement by the officer certi-
fying that they “understand that a knowing and willful false or fraudulent statement
made in connection with the certification may be punished by fine, imprisonment,
or both.”311 Table 2.39 describes the reporting and certification requirements and
the frequency with which the institution must provide the certifications.
In addition to the requirements in Table 2.39, those TARP recipients classified
as receiving exceptional assistance must certify to Treasury that they have had their
compensation payments and structures approved by the Special Master as required
by the Rule.312

128 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 129

This section provides some background on the Federal agencies and financial res-
cue initiatives that have been implemented as part of the Government’s response to
the financial crisis. TARP programs must work in concert with these other agencies
and their initiatives — either as a direct partner, as in the case of the Term Asset-
Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”), or as a potentially overlapping business
alternative for banks requiring funds. Though a huge sum in its own right, the
$700 billion in TARP funding represents only a portion of a much larger sum —
estimated to be as large as $23.7 trillion — of potential Federal Government
support to the financial system. This support is spread among numerous Federal
agencies, with the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”), providing one of
the largest support packages ($6.8 trillion if each initiative were implemented to its
maximum authorized level).
In an effort to provide context to the environment within which the TARP
programs are operating, this section provides an overview of the Federal Reserve
System and a description of the multiple financial-crisis-response programs
throughout the Federal Government. This section is intended to provide perspec-
tive for understanding TARP. SIGTARP has no oversight responsibility for any of
the programs set forth in this section that do not involve TARP funds. Additionally,
throughout this section, SIGTARP uses the term “potential support” to represent
the maximum amount of support a Government agency has specified that it could
provide under a specific program. In those cases in which there are no specified
maximum thresholds, SIGTARP has used the high-water mark of the program

TARP TUTORIAL: THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States and is structured as
a collection of quasi-governmental financial entities. It comprises a Board of Governors,
12 Federal Reserve District Banks, a Federal Open Market Committee, and a number of
advisory councils. Established by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the Federal Reserve
oversees monetary policy, supervises and regulates various banking institutions, contains
systemic risk in financial markets, and provides banking services to depository institu-
tions. For an outline of the Federal Reserve System organization, see Figure 3.1.

The Federal Reserve System: Structure and Key Individuals


The Chairman and Board of Governors
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is a group of seven Members
(“Governors”), nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Banking
Act of 1935 states that the Board of Governors should have a “fair representation of the
financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests and geographical divisions of the
country,” and no two Governors may come from the same Federal Reserve District.313 Each
Governor’s term is 14 years, and those who have served full terms cannot be reappointed;
however, those appointed to complete an unexpired term may be appointed for the follow-
ing full term. Appointments are staggered so that one term expires on January 31 of each
even-numbered year.314 Currently, there are two vacant seats on the Board of Governors.
The Chairman of the Board is chosen by the President and must be confirmed by the
Senate. The Chairman serves terms of four years and may be reappointed as Chairman
until his or her terms as a Governor expire. Currently, the Chairman of the Board of
Governors is Ben Bernanke. Sworn in as Chairman on February 1, 2006, his term on the
Board of Governors will expire in 2020,315 although his term as Chairman will expire on
January 31, 2010, unless reappointed.

Federal Open Market Committee


The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) is the other primary policymaking body of
the Federal Reserve System, responsible for Open Market Operations (“OMOs”). These
OMOs are the principal tool of monetary policy, comprising purchases and sales of U.S.
Government and Federal agency securities that are used to affect bank reserves and,
in turn, the cost and availability of money and credit in the U.S. economy. The FOMC
specifies a short-term objective for the OMOs. These policy targets change from time to
time, but the current objective of the FOMC is to stabilize the federal funds rate around a
target interest rate. The FOMC instructs the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”)
to engage in OMOs as appropriate to keep the federal funds rate near the target. Such Federal Funds Rate: The rate at
activity either contracts or expands the supply of bank reserves until the federal funds rate which depository institutions lend to
each other overnight to fill immediate
nears the target, directly affecting interest rates. Of the Federal Reserve banks, FRBNY
shortages.
has a preeminent role in executing monetary policy, particularly in its role as the executing
institution of FOMC directives.
Traditionally, monetary policy has been conducted by changing the target federal funds
rate. Lower interest rates tend to stimulate the economy, while higher interest rates tend
to temper growth and inflationary pressures.

The FOMC comprises 12 voting members: the 7 members of the Board of Governors,
the president of FRBNY, and 4 of the other 11 Federal Reserve Bank presidents, who
serve one-year terms on a rotating basis. Table 3.1 details the current members of the
FOMC.
FOMC meetings are held at regular intervals of five to eight weeks. The staff prepares
policy papers for discussion and committee members discuss options in detail. Decisions
may only be implemented, however, after reaching consensus. FOMC policy directives are
then referred to FRBNY for execution.

Federal Reserve Banks


There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks, one in every Federal Reserve District, each of which
is headed by a President. For a map detailing the 12 Federal districts and the location of
the Federal Reserve Banks, see Figure 3.2. For a listing of the current Presidents of the
Federal Reserve Banks, see Table 3.2.
The individual Federal Reserve Banks are “owned” by the private, commercial banks in
their districts. This ownership is, however, very different from the private-sector concept
of stock ownership; the shareholders cannot sell their stock, they cannot vote, and they
cannot receive dividends.

the collateral posted for non-recourse loans were to fall below the loan amount. Although
taxpayers are not directly liable to make up any losses of the Federal Reserve, in practice,
the American public is exposed in many ways to the effects of Federal Reserve actions.
To a certain extent, losses can be absorbed by the Federal Reserve in the course of
its ongoing business. The Federal Reserve derives revenues from interest on outstanding
loans to banks and from fees for services. In 2008, the Federal Reserve had a surplus of
$35 billion, which it remitted to Treasury.317 If Federal Reserve losses exceeded a certain
level — for example, the amount of the Federal Reserve’s annual revenues — further
funds would be required to meet those losses.
As a central bank, however, the Federal Reserve has other options that are not open
to the typical private-sector business. Losses up to a point can be covered by such means
as assessments on member banks, increases in interest rates on Federal Reserve loans,
or fee increases. These efforts would indirectly affect taxpayers, however, because the
banks could increase consumer fees or interest rates to compensate for the Federal
Reserve assessments.
A major financial shortfall at the Federal Reserve could lead to either an appropriation
by Congress of taxpayer funds for a bailout or an expansion of the money supply (“running
the printing press”) to cover Federal Reserve losses, which could lead to inflation.

The Federal Reserve’s Role in Addressing the Current


Financial Crisis
In the current financial crisis, the Federal Reserve has initiated a number of programs
to provide liquidity to the financial system, including engaging in large-scale asset pur-
chases, which has resulted, since January 2007, in a $1.2 trillion expansion of its balance
sheet and a number of regulatory changes intended to reduce stress on the financial
system.318 The Federal Reserve has also created new standby credit facilities and loan
guarantees, and has engaged in “quantitative easing” (lowering interest rates to provide
banks with additional profits through larger spreads). The role of the Federal Reserve in
the Government’s response to the financial crisis is covered in more detail in the “TARP in
Context: Other Government Programs To Assist the Financial Sector” discussion following
this section of the report.

TARP IN CONTEXT: OTHER GOVERNMENT


PROGRAMS TO ASSIST THE FINANCIAL SECTOR
By itself, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) is a huge program at $700
billion. As discussed in SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, the total financial
exposure of TARP and TARP-related programs may reach approximately $3 trillion.
Although large in its own right, TARP is only a part of the combined efforts of the
Federal Government to address the financial crisis. Approximately 50 initiatives
or programs have been created by various Federal agencies since 2007 to provide
potential support totaling more than $23.7 trillion.
The Federal Reserve has been one of the lead agencies responding to the finan-
cial crisis — increasing its balance sheet to more than $2 trillion to implement a
wide range of programs designed to stimulate liquidity in financial markets, as well
The Federal Reserve balance sheet
as several institution-specific interventions.321 The Federal Reserve’s $2 trillion bal-
represents the assets that the Federal
ance sheet (which grew from approximately $900 billion prior to the financial crisis
Reserve has acquired as it has put
to a peak of nearly $2.3 trillion in December 2008),322 however, does not reflect the
resources into the financial sector. The
true potential amount of support the Federal Reserve has provided to those pro- assets on the Federal Reserve’s bal-
grams, which is estimated to be at least $6.8 trillion. This is because many of the ance sheet are the tools it employs to
programs involve guarantees that, although not listed on the balance sheet, expose manage liquidity in the economy.
the Federal Reserve to significant losses if the assets they are backing deteriorate in
value.
Other players in the Government’s efforts include the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which has contributed more than $2 trillion in
new gross potential support. The newly created Federal Housing Finance Agency
(“FHFA”) — under whose auspices fall the Government-Sponsored Enterprises
(“GSEs”) such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Federal Home Loan Banks
(“FHLBs”) — has effectively provided more than $6 trillion in gross potential
support. Meanwhile, Treasury itself has programs outside of those authorized
under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (“EESA”), and has supplied
potential support beyond TARP of approximately $4.4 trillion. An overview of the
Government’s new potential support relating to the financial crisis is listed by
Federal agency in Table 3.4.
Of this $23.7 trillion in assistance to financial institutions, participants in
non-TARP programs are not subject to TARP’s restrictions and conditions, such as
executive compensation, nor do they necessarily require specific Congressional ap-
proval. Although SIGTARP’s oversight responsibility is for the operations of TARP
and directly related programs (such as TALF and the Public-Private Investment
Program (“PPIP”)), it is necessary to understand the larger context in which
TARP operates, the linkages between TARP and the trillions of dollars of other
Government initiatives. As noted earlier, SIGTARP has no authority over any of the
non-TARP activities of the agencies discussed below.

Administration (“NCUA”), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), and U.S.

Methodology for Estimating Government Financial Exposure


No official financial statements have been prepared for the combined efforts of
the Federal Government in its response to the financial crisis. The estimates in
this section are designed to suggest the scale and scope of those efforts and not to
provide a firm financial statement. These numbers may have some overlap, and
have not been evaluated to provide an estimate of likely net costs to the taxpayer.
Available data has been broken down into the following categories:

• Current Balance — the amount that has been expended on bank rescue efforts
and that is currently outstanding.
• Maximum Balance to Date — the highest balance a program has reached in
its history to date. Many programs reached their peak in December 2008 and
are now declining. Comparing the maximum balance to the current balance
provides a sense of how far past the high-water mark a program might be. The
sum for each Federal agency reflects the sum of the individual high-water marks
for each program under its supervision.
• Total Potential Support — quantifies the gross, not net, exposure that an agency
would face should all eligible program applicants request assistance at once to
the maximum permitted under the program guidelines. Note that many of these
programs are collateralized or have not been drawn down to their full authorized
levels, and as such, the actual potential for losses is likely to be lower. In certain
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 139

cases, programs included have been canceled or repaid; however, they are still
included in this table (SIGTARP’s intent is to represent all support programs
created).

The program listings in this section are not comprehensive — there are dozens
of smaller programs, regulations, statutes, and procedures of individual agen-
cies that are not captured in the following tables. Also, there is potential for some
double-counting of exposure in instances where different Federal agencies provide
guarantees for the same financial institutions (such as the overlapping exposure by
Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and FHFA to the GSEs).

Other Federal Responses: Beyond TARP


The Federal Government has undertaken dozens of initiatives, some of them
involving specific programs with specific spending limits and others without any
specific, quantifiable measurement appearing in the books of the responsible
agency. Examples of the latter include the increase in deposit insurance instituted
by FDIC, or the action by the Federal Reserve to pay interest on reserves held by
banks at the Reserve Banks.323 To the extent possible, SIGTARP has quantified
the total exposure of these programs using publicly available information from the
Federal agencies responsible for the programs or initiatives. Following each table
are brief descriptions of key programs implemented by the agencies. The descrip-
tions reflect the agencies’ own descriptions of their programs. Note that the TARP-
related programs, such as TALF and PPIP, are not included as they are addressed
in other sections of this report.

Federal Reserve System


As the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve has exceptional
responsibilities and powers to deal with systemic financial crises. See the previous
discussion “TARP Tutorial: The Federal Reserve System” in this report. The Federal
Reserve has created 18 financial support programs outside of its TARP-related
programs, as listed in Table 3.5.

Term Auction Facility (“TAF”) — Total Potential Support: Approximately


$900 Billion
The Term Auction Facility (“TAF”) allows banks to borrow funds simply by putting
up collateral. It is an alternative to the Federal Reserve’s discount window, which is
the means by which banks have historically raised funds in an emergency. Because
of its association with emergencies, borrowing at the discount window in the past
has carried a certain stigma. TAF, by contrast, is an ordinary lending program, and
its use is perceived less as a sign of weakness.
TAF was created in December 2007 by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors
to meet the short-term liquidity needs of banks. The Federal Reserve claimed that
“by increasing the access of depository institutions to funding, the TAF has sup-
ported the ability of such institutions to meet the credit needs of their customers.”
Technically, the funds are borrowed by banks in an auction that sets the inter-
est rate. The bank must be in “generally sound financial condition,” and it must
post collateral — such as high-quality notes — that are subject to certain haircuts.
Thus, a bank may borrow, for example, $0.92 after posting $1.00 worth of securi-
ties. The minimum interest rate a bank may bid is the interest rate paid by the
Federal Reserve on excess reserve balances. Typically, the Federal Reserve conducts

$1000 through TAF), versus the cash that the banks have placed as reserves at the Federal
Reserve.

600 Primary Credit Program (the “Discount Program Modification”) — Total Potential
Support: At Least $111.9 Billion
400 Primary credit loans are taken by banks at the Federal Reserve’s discount window
when they require short-term funds to meet the needs of their customers and credi-

tors. Normally, the Federal Reserve lends at a fixed rate and the bank must post

the term has been lengthened from 30 to 90 days, renewable by the borrower.325

Tri-Party Repurchase Agreements (“Repo’s”) — Total Potential Support:


At Least $124.6 Billion
According to the Federal Reserve, “repurchase agreements reflect some of the
Federal Reserve’s temporary OMOs. Repurchase agreements are transactions in
which securities are purchased from a primary dealer under an agreement to sell
them back to the dealer on a specified date in the future. The difference between
the purchase price and the repurchase price reflects an interest payment. The
Federal Reserve may enter into repurchase agreements for up to 65 business days,
but the typical maturity is between one and 14 days. Federal Reserve repurchase
agreements supply reserve balances to the banking system for the length of the
agreement. The Federal Reserve employs a naming convention for these transac-
tions based on the perspective of the primary dealers: the dealers receive cash while
the Federal Reserve receives the collateral.”326 In an effort to mitigate problems in
certain Repo markets, on September 14, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board an-
nounced that it would provide a “temporary exception to the limitations in section
23A of the Federal Reserve Act” (which limits a bank’s credit exposure to its affili-
ates).327 This exception “allows all insured depository institutions to provide liquid-
ity to their affiliates for assets typically funded in the tri-party repo market.”328
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 143

Commercial Paper Funding Facility (“CPFF”) — Total Potential Support:


$1.8 Trillion
The Commercial Paper Funding Facility (“CPFF”) was created in October 2008
to provide an emergency source of funds (in the Federal Reserve’s terms, a “liquid-
ity backstop”)329 to U.S. corporations that borrow short-term funds by issuing
Commercial Paper (“CP”). CP is a short-term debt security used by corporations
to raise funds in what has historically been a liquid market. This market ceased to
function well in the fall of 2008, and the CPFF has played a role in assuring issuers
and investors in CP that they have a “buyer of last resort.” The CPFF, according
to the Federal Reserve Board’s February 24, 2009, Monetary Report to Congress,
“is intended to improve liquidity in short-term funding markets and thereby
increase the availability of credit for businesses and households.”330 Under CPFF,
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) is committed to lending funds
as needed to a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) that buys eligible CP from eligible
issuers. Eligible CP is U.S.-dollar-denominated CP or asset-backed CP rated at
least A-1/P-1/F1 (these are the top ratings of the different rating agencies). Eligible
issuers are U.S. corporations, including those with a foreign parent company. For
any given issuer, the SPV is limited to the maximum amount of CP that issuer had
outstanding between January 1 and August 31, 2008. Issuers must pay a fee to
FRBNY of 0.1% of the maximum amount of its CP the SPV could own. The CPFF
is scheduled to expire on February 1, 2010.331

Money Market Investor Funding Facility (“MMIFF”) — Total Potential Support:


$600 Billion
Money market funds are large investment funds that buy high-quality, short-term
debt instruments such as Treasury securities and high-quality bank and corporate
notes. Investors in money market funds want absolute safety for their principal and
fast access to funds. In turn, banks and other financial intermediaries depend on
the money market as a source of funds for their business and household customers.
In 2008, this market experienced the same liquidity problems as other markets —
that is, investors could not find buyers for securities they were seeking to sell when
needed.
To meet this liquidity need, the Federal Reserve created the Money Market
Investor Funding Facility (“MMIFF”) on October 21, 2008. According to the
Federal Reserve Board’s Monetary Report to Congress, “the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York will provide senior secured funding to a series of SPVs to facilitate an
industry-supported private-sector initiative to finance the purchase of eligible assets
from eligible investors. Eligible assets include U.S. dollar-denominated certificates
of deposit and commercial paper issued by highly rated financial institutions and
having remaining maturities of 90 days or less.”332 The SPVs for the MMIFF are
similar to the SPV for CPFF in that they purchase eligible money market paper
144 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

using funds from MMIFF and asset-backed CP. FRBNY is committed to lending the
SPVs 90% of the purchase price of eligible assets; sellers of assets to the SPV will
receive that much in cash and the remaining 10% in asset-backed securities from the
SPV.333 The MMIFF has not yet funded any purchases of money market instruments.
Even without having advanced funds to the market, the program may be considered
by the market to be working merely by its existence; investors are given the comfort
that if they need it, it is available. The MMIFF SPVs are authorized through
October 30, 2009.334

Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility


(“AMLF”) — Total Potential Support: At Least $145.9 Billion
The Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility
(“AMLF”) is designed to assist money market funds that hold asset-backed commer-
cial paper (“ABCP”). Through the facility, the Federal Reserve provides non-recourse
loans at the primary credit rate to U.S. depository institutions and bank holding
companies to finance their purchases of high-quality ABCP from money market
mutual funds. According to the Federal Reserve, AMLF is intended “to assist money
funds that hold such paper in meeting demands for redemptions by investors and
to foster liquidity in the ABCP markets and broader money markets.”335 The AMLF
was initially authorized on September 19, 2008, and although originally scheduled to
terminate in January 2009, has been subsequently extended by the Federal Reserve
Board to February 1, 2010.336

Term Securities Lending Facility (“TSLF”), and Term Securities Lending Facility
Options Program (“TOP”) — Total Potential Support: $250 Billion
In the securities markets, primary dealers are a group of securities broker-dealers who
specialize in Treasury and Federal agency debt, and who have the right to trade di-
rectly with the Federal Reserve System. They also participate directly in U.S. Treasury
auctions. They are an important conduit for financial interactions between the
Federal Government and the private markets. In early 2008, this dealer system was
under increasing liquidity pressure, which the Federal Reserve addressed on March
11, 2008, with the establishment of a Term Securities Lending Facility (“TSLF”).
According to the Federal Reserve Board’s February, 2009 Monetary Report to
Congress, “Under the TSLF, the Federal Reserve lends up to $200 billion of Treasury
securities to primary dealers for a term of 28 days (rather than overnight, as in the
regular securities lending program); the lending is secured by a pledge of other securi-
ties.”337 The other securities that must be posted as collateral were broadened from
the traditional eligible assets — Treasury and Federal agency securities, and AAA-
rated private-label residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) — to include all
investment-grade debt securities. TSLF makes securities available in weekly auctions.
The program is scheduled to end on February 1, 2010.338
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 145

An extension of the TSLF is the TSLF Options Program (“TOP”), described by


FRBNY as a program intended to “enhance the effectiveness of TSLF by offer-
ing added liquidity over periods of heightened collateral market pressures, such
as quarter-end dates.”339 The program “offers options on a short-term fixed rate
of [TSLF] bond-for-bond loan of general Treasury collateral against a pledge of
eligible collateral.”340 FRBNY’s Open Market Trading Desk will offer a total of
$50 billion in options for each targeted period.341 As of June 25, 2009, the TOP has
been suspended, although the Federal Reserve states that it is prepared to resume
TOP auctions “if warranted by evolving market conditions.”342

Expansion of System Open Market Account (“SOMA”) Securities Lending — Total


Potential Support: $32 Billion Increase in Funding
The System Open Market Account (“SOMA”) was started in 1969, and is man-
aged by FRBNY. The account contains dollar-denominated assets purchased in
open market operations,343 and is a “store of liquidity in the event an emergency
need for liquidity arises.”344 Borrowing is permitted “for the purpose of covering an
expected fail to receive on the part of a dealer. In order to prevent lending activity
from affecting reserves, Treasury securities, rather than cash, are posted with the
Federal Reserve as collateral.”345 In response to market pressures, the program was
expanded on September 23, 2008, to raise the current dealer aggregate limit from
$3 billion to $4 billion346 and raised again on October 8, 2008, to $5 billion per
dealer.347

Primary Dealer Credit Facility (“PDCF”) — Total Potential Support: At Least


$148 Billion
The Federal Reserve Board’s February 2009 Monetary Report to Congress states
that “to bolster market liquidity and promote orderly market functioning, on March
16, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board voted unanimously to authorize the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York to create a lending facility — the Primary Dealer Credit
Facility [“PDCF”] — to improve the ability of primary dealers to provide financing
to participants in securitization markets.”348 Loans are made to primary dealers,
against which they must post eligible collateral — the definition of which has been
expanded from all investment-grade securities to now include “all collateral eligible
for pledge in tri-party funding arrangements through the major clearing banks.
The interest rate charged on such credit is the same as the primary credit rate
at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”349 The first participants in the PDCF
were Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley; it was later expanded to
include other primary dealers. The program is scheduled to terminate on
February 1, 2010.350
146 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Purchases of Direct Obligations of GSEs — Total Potential Support: $200 Billion


Government-Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”) are private corporations created by
Congress to fulfill certain financial policy goals, primarily in the housing finance
markets. The most prominent of these are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the
FHLBs. As Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in particular encountered difficulty rais-
ing funds in 2008, their problems affected the housing markets in general, where
these two agencies alone accounted for more than half of all financing.
To promote market functioning, the availability of credit, and support for the
housing and mortgage markets, the Federal Reserve, on September 19, 2008, an-
nounced that it would commence purchasing debt and other instruments of the
GSEs though its Open Market Trading Desk; these purchases are made in com-
petitive auctions through primary dealers.
On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced a program to purchase
up to $100 billion in the GSEs’ direct obligations. Note that GSEs raise funds for
mortgage lending in two ways — by direct borrowing or by guaranteeing third-party
mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). On March 18, 2009, the Federal Reserve’s
FOMC increased the size of these lines to a total of $200 billion for direct
obligations.351Although the direct borrowing line has been focused on fixed-rate,
non-callable, senior benchmark securities of the GSEs, the Federal Reserve has
stated that it may change the scope of its purchases in the future.

Purchases of GSE-Guaranteed MBS — Total Potential Support: $1.25 Trillion


In addition to purchasing the direct obligations of GSEs, the Federal Reserve is
further supporting the mortgage markets by committing to purchase up to
$1.25 trillion of MBS that have been guaranteed by the GSEs. This purchase line
was originally announced on November 25, 2008, with a maximum purchase limit
of $500 billion, but this amount was raised by $750 billion to $1.25 trillion on
March 18, 2009.352

Foreign Central Bank Currency Liquidity Swaps — Total Potential Support:


$755 Billion
On December 12, 2007, the FOMC announced that it had authorized dollar
liquidity swap lines with the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank
in order to “provide liquidity in U.S. dollars to overseas markets.”353 Since then, the
program has expanded to include additional central banks.
The Federal Reserve describes the transactions as follows: “These swaps involve
two transactions. When a foreign central bank draws on its swap line with the
Federal Reserve, the foreign central bank sells a specified amount of its currency
to the Federal Reserve in exchange for dollars at the prevailing market exchange
rate. The Federal Reserve holds the foreign currency in an account at the foreign
central bank. The dollars that the Federal Reserve provides are deposited in an
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 147

account that the foreign central bank maintains at the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York. At the same time, the Federal Reserve and the foreign central bank enter
into a binding agreement for a second transaction that obligates the foreign central
bank to buy back its currency on a specified future date at the same exchange rate.
The second transaction unwinds the first. At the conclusion of the second transac-
tion, the foreign central bank pays interest, at a market-based rate, to the Federal
Reserve.
“When the foreign central bank lends the dollars it obtained by drawing on
its swap line to institutions in its jurisdiction, the dollars are transferred from the
foreign central bank’s account at the Federal Reserve to the account of the bank
that the borrowing institution uses to clear its dollar transactions. The foreign cen-
tral bank remains obligated to return the dollars to the Federal Reserve under the
terms of the agreement, and the Federal Reserve is not a counterparty to the loan
extended by the foreign central bank. The foreign central bank bears the credit risk
associated with the loans it makes to institutions in its jurisdiction.”354

Treasuries Purchase Program (“TPP”) — Total Potential Support: $300 Billion


On March 18, 2009, the FOMC announced that “to help improve conditions in
private credit markets, the [FOMC] Committee decided to purchase up to $300
billion of longer-term Treasury Securities over the next six months.”355 The Federal
Reserve states that the goal of TPP is “to provide support to mortgage and hous-
ing markets and to foster improved conditions in financial markets more generally”
by cheapening the yields of the longer-term Government securities which are the
benchmarks against which the rates of long-term loans, such as mortgages, are
set.356

Credit to American International Group, Inc. — Total Potential Support:


$122.5 Billion
The Federal Reserve Board’s Monetary Report to Congress states that “In early
September, the condition of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), a large,
complex financial institution, deteriorated rapidly. In view of the likely systemic
implications and the potential for significant adverse effects on the economy of a
disorderly failure of AIG, on September 16, the Federal Reserve Board, with the
support of Treasury, authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to lend up
to $85 billion to the firm to assist it in meeting its obligations and to facilitate the
orderly sale of some of its businesses. This facility had a 24-month term, with inter-
est accruing on the outstanding balance at a rate of 3-month Libor plus 850 basis
points, and was collateralized by all of the assets of AIG and its primary non-regu-
lated subsidiaries. On October 8, the Federal Reserve announced an additional pro-
gram under which it would lend up to $37.8 billion to finance investment-grade,
fixed-income securities held by AIG. These securities had previously been lent by
148 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

AIG’s insurance company subsidiaries to third parties.”357 This facility was repaid
in full and terminated on December 12, 2008.358 Subsequently, in November 2008,
“Treasury, through TARP, purchased $40 billion of newly issued AIG preferred
shares under the Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”) program.
The $40 billion took some of the pressure off the first Federal Reserve line of
credit, allowing the Federal Reserve to reduce from $85 billion to $60 billion the
total amount available under the credit facility.”359 In addition to reducing the size
of the line of credit, the Federal Reserve reduced the interest rate on the facility
and extended the term of the facility from two years to five years.360 On
March 2, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced authorization for new loans of up
to an aggregate amount of approximately $8.5 billion to special purpose vehicles
established by domestic life insurance subsidiaries of AIG that would be repaid by
the net cash flows from designated blocks of life insurance policies held by the par-
ent insurance companies.361

Maiden Lane LLC (Bear Stearns) — Total Potential Support: $29.8 Billion
In mid-March of 2008, Bear Stearns, a major investment bank and primary dealer,
was in imminent danger of failure. According to the Federal Reserve Board’s
February 2009 Monetary Report to Congress, “A bankruptcy filing would have
forced the secured creditors and counterparties of Bear Stearns to liquidate un-
derlying collateral, and given the illiquidity of markets, those creditors and coun-
terparties might well have sustained substantial losses. If they had responded to
losses or the unexpected illiquidity of their holdings by pulling back from providing
secured financing to other firms and by dumping large volumes of illiquid assets
on the market, a much broader financial crisis likely would have ensued. Thus,
the Federal Reserve judged that a disorderly failure of Bear Stearns would have
threatened overall financial stability and would most likely have had significant
adverse implications for the U.S. economy.”362 To prevent a complete collapse of
Bear Stearns, therefore, the Federal Reserve invoked its emergency authorities
under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to authorize a loan of $30 billion,
secured by $30 billion in Bear Stearns’ assets, to be used by JPMorgan to purchase
Bear Stearns and to assume the company’s financial obligations. A limited liability
company, Maiden Lane LLC was formed to facilitate these arrangements, particu-
larly to hold and manage certain assets. On June 26, 2008, JPMorgan completed
the acquisition. Maiden Lane LLC purchased approximately $30 billion in Bear
Stearns assets on that date with approximately $29 billion of funding from the
Federal Reserve to Maiden Lane LLC and a subordinated loan of approximately $1
billion from JPMorgan.363 Today, the Federal Reserve is managing the disposition of
Bear Stearns’ assets.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 149

Maiden Lane II LLC and Maiden Lane III LLC (American International Group, Inc.)
— Total Potential Support: $22.5 Billion and $30.0 Billion, Respectively
The Federal Reserve Board’s April 2009 Monetary Report to Congress states that
“In November 2008, the Federal Reserve also announced plans to restructure its
lending related to AIG by extending credit to two newly formed limited liability
companies. The first, Maiden Lane II LLC, received a $22.5 billion loan from
the Federal Reserve and a $1 billion subordinated loan from AIG and purchased
residential mortgage-backed securities from AIG. As a result of these actions, the
securities lending facility established on October 8 was subsequently repaid and
terminated. The second new company, Maiden Lane III LLC, received a $30 bil-
lion loan from the Federal Reserve and a $5 billion subordinated loan from AIG
and purchased multi-sector collateralized debt obligations on which AIG ha[d] writ-
ten credit default swap contracts.”364 The Federal Reserve’s first quarterly report on
its credit and liquidity programs shows a decline in fair value on the assets held in
the AIG-related Maiden Lane facilities — a decline in fair value of $2.5 billion and
$6.4 billion, respectively, for Maiden Lanes II and III.365

Bridge Loan to JPMorgan Chase & Bear Stearns — Total Potential Support:
$12.9 Billion
According to the Federal Reserve, on March 14, 2008, FRBNY made an overnight
discount window loan of $12.9 billion to JPMorgan to facilitate its purchase of
Bear Stearns; this was done simultaneously, in a back-to-back transaction, to pro-
vide secured financing to Bear Stearns.366 The loan was repaid in full the following
Monday, March 17, 2008, “with interest of nearly $4 million.” The Federal Reserve
Board describes this decision to extend credit as “designed to provide funding to
Bear Stearns to meet its immediate liquidity needs for that day and to give the com-
pany and policymakers additional time to develop a more permanent solution to
the company’s severe liquidity pressures that threatened to cause its sudden default
and bankruptcy.”367

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation


FDIC supports banks by insuring depositors against loss. Once depositors need not
worry about the financial health of any particular bank, the entire banking system
can avoid the destabilizing and dangerous potential for “runs on the bank” or other
precipitous withdrawals of funds. Historically a standby guarantor of deposits, the
current banking crisis has drawn FDIC into the business of direct guarantees of
debt instruments, investment funds, and asset values — businesses increasingly

distant from its core. Table 3.6 provides a summary of the key FDIC initiatives
related to the financial crisis. As with the Federal Reserve, any of FDIC’s TARP-
related programs such as its involvement in PPIP and the Asset Guarantee Program
(“AGP”), are omitted from this discussion because they are already mentioned in
Section 2: “TARP Overview” of this report.

Enhanced FDIC Deposit Insurance — Total Potential Support: $700 Billion


Since the 1980s, FDIC has insured deposits up to a maximum of $100,000 per
depositor. In late 2008, in response to the liquidity crisis and uncertain solvency
in the banking industry, FDIC received statutory authority to increase its coverage
to $250,000 for individual accounts.368 FDIC states, “If a depositor’s accounts at
one FDIC-insured bank or savings association total $250,000 or less, the deposits
are fully insured. A depositor can have more than $250,000 at one insured bank
or savings association and still be fully insured provided the accounts meet certain
requirements.”369 According to FDIC, “the standard insurance amount of $250,000
per depositor is in effect through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the
standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account

The Congressional Budget Office (“CBO”), in its “Budget and Economic
Outlook: Fiscal Years 2009 to 2019,” estimates that the temporary increase in the
limit of deposit insurance will “increase the amount of insured deposits by about
$700 billion, or 15 percent.”371 Claims on deposit insurance are paid by the Deposit
Insurance Fund (“DIF”), which is financed by fees levied on insured banks. In the
event that the funds available in the DIF should be insufficient to cover claims,
FDIC can borrow from Treasury (historically up to $30 billion, but recently in-
creased to $100 billion with a temporary authority up to $500 billion).372 As of the
end of March, 2009, FDIC had not borrowed from Treasury to cover any losses to
DIF.373

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (Debt Guarantee Program) — Total


Potential Support: $940 Billion
The Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) was established in October
2008 to address “disruptions in the credit market, particularly the interbank lend-
ing market, which reduced banks’ liquidity and impaired their ability to lend. The
goal of the TLGP is to decrease the cost of bank funding so that bank lending to
consumers and businesses will normalize.”374 The program “does not rely on the
taxpayer or the deposit insurance fund to achieve its goals;”375 rather, it is “entirely
funded by industry fees.”376 TLGP has two components, the debt guarantee pro-
gram (“DGP”) discussed in this paragraph and the Transaction Account Guarantee
(“TAG”) program described in the following paragraph. DGP provides an FDIC
guarantee of newly issued senior unsecured debt of depository institutions. The
goal of the DGP is to “create significant investor demand, and dramatically reduce
funding costs for eligible banks and bank holding companies.”377 FDIC-insured
institutions were automatically included in the program, but given the option not to
participate. Participating institutions may issue debt under the DGP until October
31, 2009, with the debt being guaranteed until “the earliest of the opt-out date,
the maturity of the debt, the mandatory conversion date for mandatory convertible
debt, or December 31, 2012.”378

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (Transaction Account Guarantee


Program) — Total Potential Support: $684 Billion
On October 14, 2008, FDIC announced the temporary Transaction Account
Guarantee (“TAG”) program, which is the second component of the TLGP. It
provides depositors with “unlimited coverage for non-interest-bearing transac-
tion accounts if their bank is a participant in FDIC’s TLGP. Non-interest-bearing
checking accounts include Demand Deposit Accounts (“DDAs”) and any transac-
tion account that has unlimited withdrawals and that cannot earn interest. Also
152 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

included are low-interest NOW [“Negotiable Order of Withdrawal”] accounts


that cannot earn more than 0.5% interest.”379 The program is scheduled to end on
December 31, 2009. On June 23, 2009, FDIC voted to seek comment on whether
to extend the TAG until June 30, 2010.380 As with the debt guarantee component,
FDIC-insured institutions were given the option not to participate in the TAG
program.

U.S. Department of the Treasury


Outside of TARP, Treasury is using its non-EESA resources and authorities to sup-
port a number of other programs for the benefit of the financial industry. EESA,
the legislation that created TARP, was not the first financial rescue act of Congress
in 2008. Prior to EESA, Congress passed the Housing and Economic Recovery
Act of 2008 (“HERA”) in July 2008. As such, many of Treasury’s earlier efforts at
restoring stability to the financial sector arose out of provisions in this law. Table
3.7 provides a summary of the key Treasury initiatives related to the financial crisis.

Money Market Mutual Fund (“MMMF”) Program — Total Potential Support:


$3.4 Trillion
Treasury initiated the temporary Money Market Mutual Fund (“MMMF”) guaran-
tee program on September 29, 2008. The stated intent was to address temporary
dislocations in credit markets by guaranteeing “the share price of any publicly
offered eligible money market mutual fund — both retail and institutional — that
applies for and pays a fee to participate in the program.”381 According to Treasury,
the program provided “coverage to shareholders for amounts that they held in par-
ticipating money market funds as of the close of business on September 19, 2008.
The guarantee will be triggered if a participating fund’s net asset value falls below
$0.995, commonly referred to as breaking the buck.”382
Originally designed to last for three months, the program has been renewed and
extended by the Treasury Secretary to run until the close of business on September
18, 2009.383 Funding for the program was drawn not from TARP funds, but from
the Exchange Stabilization Fund, which was established by the Gold Reserve Act of
1934.384 The Exchange Stabilization Fund has assets of approximately $50 million,
and the total exposure of the MMMF program is theoretically approximately $3.4
trillion — the total amount of money market mutual funds outstanding as of the
third quarter of 2008, when the program was created.385

GSE Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (“PSPA”) — Total Potential Support:


$400 Billion
HERA provided temporary authority for Treasury to purchase obligations of the
housing GSEs. In September 2008 FHFA, established under HERA to oversee
the housing GSEs, put Fannie Mae under Federal conservatorship, and Treasury
entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (“PSPA”) with Fannie Mae
to make investments of up to $100 billion in senior preferred stock as required to
maintain positive equity.386 According to the White House’s FY 2010 budget docu-
ment, “On February 18, 2009, Treasury announced that the funding commitments
for the PSPA would be increased to $200 billion. As of April 16, 2009, Fannie Mae
has received $15.2 billion under the PSPA.”387 Similarly, in September 2008, FHFA
put Freddie Mac under Federal conservatorship and Treasury entered into a PSPA
with Freddie Mac to make investments of up to $100 billion in senior preferred
stock as required to maintain positive equity. On February 18, 2009, Treasury
announced that the funding commitments for the Freddie Mac PSPA would be
increased to $200 billion, the same as Fannie Mae’s commitment. As of April 16,
2009, Freddie Mac has received $44.6 billion under the PSPA.388According to
Treasury’s FY 2010 budget, “the function of the PSPAs is to instill confidence in
investors that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will remain viable entities critical to
the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets.”389
154 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

GSE MBS Purchase Program — Total Potential Support: $314 Billion


HERA also gave Treasury the authority to purchase GSE MBS in the open mar-
ket, and Treasury announced the program on September 7, 2008.390 According to
Treasury’s FY 2010 budget, “The function of the GSE MBS Purchase Program is to
help improve the availability of mortgage credit to American homebuyers and miti-
gate pressures on mortgage rates. To promote the stability of the mortgage market,
Treasury has purchased GSE MBS in the secondary market. By purchasing these
guaranteed securities, Treasury sought to broaden access to mortgage funding for
current and prospective homeowners as well as to promote market stability.”391

GSE Credit Facility Program — Total Potential Support: $25 Billion


The third Treasury program conducted under HERA relating to the GSEs is a
program designed to “ensure credit availability to the housing GSEs by providing
secured funding on an as-needed basis.”392 All of the GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, and the FHLBs) would be able to borrow under the program if needed until
December 31, 2009. Treasury’s FY 2010 budget describes the program as one of
short-term loans — less than one month but greater than one week — collateral-
ized by MBS issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and advances made by the
FHLBs; no loan can have a maturity date later than December 31, 2009.393

Other HERA 2008 Programs — Total Potential Support: $19 Billion


HERA focused on the early centers of the financial crisis — the home mortgage
markets and the housing-related GSEs. Beyond the GSE programs, the other
components pertaining to Treasury include measures to support home prices in
general, and to support families and communities harmed by the mortgage market
problems. Specifically, the act introduced $15 billion in homebuyer tax credits,
extension of the property tax deduction to non-itemizing filers, as well as $4 billion
in emergency assistance for neighborhood real estate market stabilization.394

Joint Treasury/Department of Education Student Loan Programs —


Total Potential Support: $195 Billion
Treasury and the Department of Education have jointly announced four pro-
grams to support the student loan markets, which have been affected by the
credit crisis. The authority for these new programs is addressed in the Ensuring
Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008. The first of these programs is
the Participation Program, under which the Government will buy participations
in pools of student loans. The second is the Purchase Program, through which
the Government will purchase individual loans from lenders so that the lender’s
balance sheets can be freed up to make new student loans. The third is the Short
Term Purchase Program (“STPP”), which is a time extension of the Purchase
Program. The fourth new program is the Asset-Backed Conduit Program (“ABCP”),
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 155

under which the Government will issue forward commitments to purchase Federal
Family Educational Loan Program (“FFELP”) loans from qualified ABS issuers.395

Commitments to International Fund — Total Potential Support: $100 Billion


On April 2, 2009, President Obama secured an agreement to increase the
International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) New Arrangements to Borrow (“NAB”)
by up to $500 billion, of which the United States committed up to $100 billion.
According to Treasury, “expanding the NAB will ensure the IMF has adequate
resources to play its central role in resolving and preventing the spread of interna-
tional economic and financial crises. Large and urgent financing needs projected
for emerging markets and developing countries cannot be met from pre-crisis IMF
lending resources.”396

Other Federal Agencies Supporting Financial Markets


In addition to the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and FDIC, the Federal Government
operates a number of financial agencies, many of which are running their own
financial rescue programs as outlined in Table 3.8.

Federal Home Finance Agency (“FHFA”) — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac —
Total Potential Support: $5.5 Trillion
FHFA was created on July 30, 2008, as part of HERA. The agency is an indepen-
dent regulator of certain housing-related GSEs.397 These institutions are Fannie
Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHLBs. The financial markets have historically viewed
the GSEs as quasi-governmental, and awarded them high ratings and low borrow-
ing costs in the anticipation that the U.S. Government would bail them out if they
were ever in trouble.
In August and September of 2008, Fannie and Freddie lost market confidence
as their losses grew and their financial situations became uncertain, and both had
difficulty raising funds. Instead of shutting down the companies, FHFA brought
them into Federal conservatorship and worked with Treasury and the Federal
Reserve to institute the various purchase and credit programs mentioned above.
By bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, FHFA has reinforced the market’s
assumptions that the obligations of the GSEs are implied liabilities of the U.S.
Government.398 Outstanding debt obligations and MBS guarantees of those two
firms alone exceed $5.5 trillion.399

FHFA — Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) — Total Potential Support:


$1.3 Trillion
The Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) are a system of 12 regional banks from
which local lending institutions borrow funds to finance housing and other lending.
The FHLBs are organized as member-owned cooperatives, focused on providing

These obligations have been viewed as enjoying an “implied” guarantee because of historical U.S. Government involvement and sup-
port. In 2001, the CBO stated: “CBO attributes the greater liquidity of GSE securities over those of other financial firms to the implicit
guarantee, much as the Government guarantee of Treasury securities is often cited as the reason for their liquidity.” Congressional

low-cost funding for their members. According to the Council of Federal Home
Loan Banks, the FHLBs provide financing to approximately 80% of U.S. lending
institutions.400
It is true that FHFA, and by extension Treasury, do not have full legal liability
for all of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s losses, but it has created a very strong
implied guarantee by taking responsibility for the entities and increasing their
participation in the financial markets, instead of closing them. By bailing out
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the FHFA creates an assumption in the market that
it would do the same for the FHLBs. The FHLBs have total liabilities of approxi-
mately $1.3 trillion.401

NCUA — Temporary Corporate Credit Union Liquidity Guarantee Program


(“TCCULGP”) — Total Potential Support: $15.2 Billion
The National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”) essentially acts as the FDIC
of the nation’s credit unions. The independent agency charters and supervises cred-
it unions, as well as insures their depositors (technically, “shareholders”) against
loss through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (“NCUSIF”).402 As
of March 31, 2009, NCUA insured approximately $612 billion of deposits.403
NCUA has initiated several programs to address financial system difficulties,
in addition to its normal deposit insurance programs. The first is the Temporary
Corporate Credit Union Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TCCULGP”), under
which NCUA insures the senior unsecured debt of member institutions experi-
encing temporary liquidity difficulties.404 On May 21, 2009, the TCCULGP was
extended to June 30, 2010, for new issuances, with the debt being guaranteed until
June 30, 2017. Further, the guaranteed debt limit was revised to “the greater of:
1) 100% of maximum unsecured debt obligations outstanding from September 30,
2007, to September 30, 2008, limited to no more than $10 billion, 2) amount ap-
proved by the Office of Corporate Credit Unions not to exceed the greater of $100
million or 5% of liabilities and shares.”405 As of April 21, 2009, there were
23 corporate credit unions participating in the program.406

NCUA Homeowners Affordability Relief Program (“HARP”) and Credit Union


System Investment Program (“CU SIP”) — Total Potential Support: $41 Billion
The other major financial rescue programs initiated by NCUA were the
Homeowners Affordability Relief Program (“HARP”)407 and the Credit Union
System Investment Program (“CU SIP”).408 These programs intend to help mem-
bers avoid delinquency and default (HARP) and increase the liquidity in the credit
union system (CU SIP).
158 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) — Total Potential Support:


$149.2 Billion
GNMA guarantees investors the timely payment of principal and interest on MBS
backed by Federally insured or guaranteed loans, thus helping to provide liquid-
ity to the housing markets. The largest housing agency that supplies mortgages
to GNMA-backed MBS is the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). Other
Federal mortgage programs participating in GNMA’s programs include those of the
Veteran’s Administration.409 The guarantees are thus redundant, in the sense that
another Federal program is already insuring much of the principal amount, but
the ultimate potential losses to the Federal Government depend on the particulars
of the individual losses. Outstanding single-family guarantees in September 2008
were $537.3 billion, and outstanding multi-family guarantees were $39.4 billion.
Collectively, those amounts were up $149.2 billion in 2008 as the private financial
sector lost its ability to absorb them.410

Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) — Total Potential Support: $134.5 Billion


FHA provides home mortgage insurance to lenders; if the borrower should fail to
make payments and goes into foreclosure, FHA will insure the lender against most
of its losses. FHA is the oldest of the Federal housing agencies. In 2008, it had
outstanding liabilities of more than $576.4 billion in single-family and multi-family
mortgage programs, an increase of $134.5 billion from the previous year.411

Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) Home Loan Guarantee Program —


Total Potential Support: $10.6 Billion
The Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) runs a mortgage guarantee program
similar to FHA’s, but limited to veterans of the U.S. military. VA’s programs pro-
vide 100% financing (that is, there is no down payment required).412 There were
estimated to be nearly $35 billion in VA loans outstanding in 2008, an increase of
nearly $11 billion (44%) over the previous year.413

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 161

Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), Congress


authorized the Treasury Secretary to take such actions as necessary to build
the operational and administrative infrastructure to support the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (“TARP”) activities. EESA authorized the establishment of an
Office of Financial Stability (“OFS”) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(“Treasury”) to be responsible for the administration of TARP. 414 Treasury has the
authority to establish program vehicles, issue regulations, directly hire or appoint
employees, enter into contracts, and designate financial institutions as financial
agents of the Federal Government.415 In addition to using permanent and interim
staff, OFS relies on contractors and financial agents in legal, investment consult-
ing, accounting, and other key service areas.416

TARP ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROGRAM


EXPENDITURES
Treasury stated that it had incurred $27.5 million in TARP-related administrative
expenditures through June 30, 2009.417 Table 4.1 summarizes these expenditures,
as well as additional obligations through June 30, 2009. The majority of these costs
are allocated to Personnel Services and Non-Personnel Other Services.

162 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

Additionally, Treasury has released details of programmatic expenditures. These


expenditures include costs to hire financial agents and legal firms associated with
TARP operations. Treasury shows the allocation of these programmatic costs at
$64 million as of June 30, 2009.418
TARP operations are projected to cost approximately $175 million for fis-
cal year 2009.419 These costs are not reflected in determining any gains or losses
on the TARP-related transactions and are not included in the $699 billion limit
on asset purchases. Therefore, these expenditures will add to the Federal budget
deficit regardless of whether the TARP transactions result in a gain or a loss for the
Government.420

CURRENT CONTRACTORS AND FINANCIAL


AGENTS
As of June 30, 2009, Treasury had retained 45 outside contractors, including 4
asset managers, to provide a range of services to assist in administering TARP. As
permitted in EESA, Treasury has used streamlined solicitation procedures and has
structured several agreements and contracts to allow for flexibility in obtaining
the required services expeditiously. Table 4.2 lists outside vendors as of June 30,
2009.421
As required by EESA, SIGTARP must report the biographical information for
each person or entity hired to manage the troubled assets associated with TARP.422
Since the publication of SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, there have been four
important staff- or contractor- related developments at OFS:

• confirmation of a new Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability


• appointment of a Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation
• creation of a Treasury position for restructuring/exit strategy
• appointment of three asset managers

Assistant Secretary
On June 19, 2009, Herbert Allison was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability, replacing Neel Kashkari,
who served on an interim basis.423 In this role, Mr. Allison is responsible for “de-
veloping and coordinating Treasury’s policies on legislative and regulatory issues
affecting financial stability, including overseeing the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(TARP).”424 He will also have the title of Counselor to the Secretary.

Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation


On June 10, 2009, the President announced plans to appoint Kenneth Feinberg as
the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation, to “ensure compensation

plans are consistent with the public interest.”425 As mentioned previously in


the “Executive Compensation” discussion in Section 2: “TARP Overview,” Mr.
Feinberg, whose mediation experience includes acting as the Special Master of the
September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, “will review payments and compen-
sation plans for the executives and the 100 most highly compensated employees
of TARP recipients that have received exceptional assistance to ensure that com-
pensation is structured in a way that gives those employees incentives to maximize
long-term shareholder value and protect taxpayer interests.”426 Companies receiv-
ing exceptional financial assistance include those receiving assistance under the
Systemically Significant Failing Institutions (“SSFI”), the Targeted Investment
Program (“TIP”), and the Automotive Industry Financing Program (“AIFP”), and
currently include the American International Group (“AIG”), Citigroup, Bank of
America, Chrysler, General Motors (“GM”), GMAC and Chrysler Financial.

Restructuring/Exit Strategy
On May 18, 2009, Treasury announced the hiring of Jim Millstein as its Chief
Restructuring Officer, within OFS. Mr. Millstein, whose restructuring experience
included 28 years of advisory work as a lawyer and as an investment banker, has
taken the lead in managing Treasury’s investment in AIG and other significant
investments and in developing exit strategies for Treasury from these investments
over time.

Asset Managers
On April 22, 2009, Treasury announced the selection of three firms to manage its
portfolio of assets issued by banks and other institutions participating in the Capital
Purchase Program (“CPP”) and other TARP programs. The assets to be managed
include senior preferred shares, senior debt, equity warrants, and other equity and
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 165

debt obligations. Following a review of more than 200 submissions from interested
firms, Treasury selected AllianceBernstein L.P., FSI Group, LLC, and Piedmont
Investment Advisors, LLC for agreements valid until April 20, 2014.427 According
to OFS, AllianceBernstein is a leading global investment management firm that
offers “high-quality research and diversified investment services to institutional
clients, individuals and private clients in major markets around the world.”428 The
firm is, headquartered in New York City and employs more than 500 investment
professionals with expertise in growth equities, value equities, fixed-income securi-
ties, blend strategies and alternative investments.429
According to OFS, FSI Group operates a “multi-strategy investment platform
focused on opportunities in the financial services sector.”430 The firm is based in
Cincinnati and specializes in financing and investing in banks, thrifts, insurance
companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), real estate operating compa-
nies and other financial services firms.
According to OFS, Piedmont Investment Advisors, LLC is a money manage-
ment firm specializing in “core equity and fixed-income management.”431 The firm
was founded in August 2000 and is based in Durham, North Carolina.

Responsibilities
The three asset management firms have each been assigned a representative
cross-section of Treasury holdings, weighted towards the specialty of each firm.
AllianceBernstein has been allocated assets relating to 390 of the 644 financial in-
stitutions in OFS’s portfolio, a broad mix of holdings diversified along institutional
size and geographic lines.432 FSI Group was allocated 184 institutions, weighted
towards small, publicly held, local institutions.433 Piedmont was allocated 70 insti-
tutions, weighted towards the larger institutions, given their specialty in macro-level
analysis.434
The firms will all employ a “buy-and-hold” management approach, focusing on
the policy goal of market stability over the typical asset manager goals of diver-
sification and return on investment.435 The asset managers will conduct analysis
and ongoing valuation of the Treasury holdings in their portfolios on behalf of
Treasury and the taxpayers, and advise Treasury on management of the accounts
and “strategy and optimal timing to execute warrants or monetize preferred shares
and other equity securities or debt obligations, consistent with both the duty to the
taxpayer and the goal of market stability,” as well as strategies relating to corporate
actions (i.e., proxies, disclosures, mergers/acquisitions, de-listings, etc.).436 However,
the managers will not execute any transactions unless specifically instructed by
OFS.437 Should OFS request a trade or transaction, the asset managers will advise
Treasury on its disposition strategy and negotiate with broker/dealers to achieve
166 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

results “consistent with best execution at the most favorable prices reasonably
obtainable.”438

asset manager — typically providing a
lower management fee structure.
Key Deliverables and Compliance Roles
Each of the asset managers will provide several deliverables as well as regular com-
pliance information to OFS, including:440
• monthly valuations of preferred shares and warrants for the financial institu-
tions assigned to the asset manager
• detailed cash flow projections for each security held
• monthly yield and maturity probability matrices
• IT security report
• annual certification
• annual SAS 70
• quarterly disclosure on organizational conflicts of interest
• quarterly disclosure on personal conflicts of interest
• certification of communications with Treasury employees
• quarterly confidentiality certification
• quarterly compliance reports
• quarterly disclosure of revenue-sharing agreements

Conflict Mitigation
Treasury has identified several potential conflicts of interest on the part of the asset
managers, ranging from the potential of TARP institutions being clients of the as-
set manager to the individual fund managers potentially owning shares of stock in
institutions that have received TARP funds, among others, and has adopted mitiga-
tion plans that address these conflicts. Treasury recognizes that its decisions to sell
off portions of its portfolio represent material non-public information that cannot
be shared by the particular individuals working on the Treasury portfolios with
other members of the asset management firm. To address these concerns, Treasury
has required each asset manager to “wall off” or segregate the employees who
receive this information.441 These ethical walls are intended to keep Treasury’s sell
or warrant execution decisions confidential so that other parts of the firm are not
made aware of, and therefore cannot profit from, this potentially market-moving
information. To further segregate the TARP-related information, OFS has required
an IT barrier that will prevent this confidential information from being electroni-
cally accessed by others in the firm.442
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 167

Valuation Methodology
The asset managers will provide monthly valuation reports to OFS regarding
their view of the fair market value of the assets in their respective portfolios. OFS Fair Market Value: The price that a

inflows minus the present value of the
cash outflows.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Within the framework of TARP procurement and contracting, actual or potential
conflicts of interest (“COIs”) can exist at the organizational level or pertain to an
individual employee. EESA provides the Treasury Secretary the authority to issue
regulations or guidelines necessary to address and manage, or to prohibit, COI that
can arise in connection with the administration and execution of TARP.445
TARP-related COI may occur due to a variety of situations, such as when
retained entities perform similar work for Treasury and other clients. In these situa-
tions, contracted entities may find that their duty to certain clients may impair their
objectivity when advising Treasury or may affect their judgment about the proper
use of nonpublic information. Conflicts may also arise from the personal inter-
ests of individuals employed by retained entities. Accordingly, Treasury has issued
interim guidelines to address potential COI.446
These interim COI rules require interested contractors to provide sufficient
information to evaluate the potential for organizational COI and plans to mitigate
them.447 The mitigation plan then becomes a binding term of the contract ar-
rangement. On potential personal COI, the provisions require that managers and
employees of a hired entity disclose any financial holdings or personal and familial
relationships that could impair their objectivity.448
Financial agents and contractors have identified potential COI, and these
parties have proposed solutions to mitigate the identified conflicts. In response to
recommendations made to Treasury by the Comptroller General,449 Treasury has
taken steps to formalize its oversight and monitoring of potential COI.450

QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 171

One of the responsibilities of the Office of the Special Inspector General for the
Troubled Asset Relief Program (“SIGTARP”) is to provide recommendations to
the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) so that Troubled Asset Relief
Program (“TARP”) initiatives can be designed or modified to facilitate transparency
and effective oversight and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. SIGTARP has made
such recommendations in both its Initial Report to Congress, dated February 6,
2009 (the “Initial Report”), and its April Quarterly Report to Congress, dated April
21, 2009 (the “April Quarterly Report”). This section sets forth SIGTARP’s new or
ongoing recommendations and summarizes Treasury’s responses to prior recom-
mendations. Appendix G sets forth Treasury’s written responses to prior SIGTARP
recommendations.

RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO THE


PUBLIC-PRIVATE INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”) is a program in which
Government funds will be invested side-by-side with private investor equity to
purchase legacy assets, including the “toxic” assets widely believed to be one of the
root causes of the current financial crisis. The aspect of PPIP that has proceeded
the furthest toward implementation thus far is the Treasury-led Legacy Securities
Program. As discussed more fully in Section 2 of this report, under the Legacy
Securities Program, Treasury, through an application process, has pre-qualified
fund managers to manage Public-Private Investment Funds (“PPIFs”). The fund
managers will raise private capital for equity participation in the PPIF that will be
matched, dollar-for-dollar, with TARP funds. The PPIF will then be able either to
obtain non-recourse financing in TARP funds of up to 100% of the amount of total
equity or access even greater non-recourse financing from the Federal Reserve
through the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (“TALF”) for purchase of
TALF-eligible assets. The fund manager, who earns a fee both from Treasury and
from the private investors, will then use the money to purchase and manage legacy
mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

April Quarterly Report Recommendations


In the April Quarterly Report, SIGTARP observed that many aspects of PPIP could
make it inherently vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse, identifying four areas of
particular vulnerability:

• Conflicts of Interest: PPIF managers might have a powerful incentive to make


investment decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of the taxpayer. By
their nature and design, including the availability of significant leverage, the
PPIF transactions in these frozen markets will have a significant impact on how
172 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

any particular asset is priced in the market. As a result, the increase in the price
of such an asset will greatly benefit anyone who already owns or manages the
same asset, potentially including the PPIF manager who is making the invest-
ment decisions.
• Collusion: A closely related vulnerability is that PPIF managers might be
persuaded, through kickbacks, quid pro quo transactions, or other collusive ar-
rangements, to manage the PPIFs not for the benefit of the PPIF (and taxpay-
ers), but rather for the benefit of themselves and their collusive partners. The
significant non-recourse, Government-financed leverage presents a great incen-
tive for collusion between the buyer and seller of the asset, or the buyer and
other buyers, whereby the taxpayer may be exposed to a significant loss while
others profit.
• Money Laundering: Because of the significant leverage available and the inher-
ent imprimatur of legitimacy associated with PPIP and TALF, these programs
present an ideal opportunity to money-laundering organizations, which are
continually looking for opportunities to make their illicit proceeds appear to be
legitimate, thereby “laundering” those proceeds.
• Interaction with TALF: In announcing the details of PPIP, Treasury has indi-
cated that PPIFs under the Legacy Securities Program could, in turn, use the
leveraged PPIF funds to purchase legacy MBS through TALF, thereby greatly
increasing Government exposure to losses with no corresponding increase of
potential profits. This leverage upon leverage would magnify the incentives for
conflicts of interest and collusion and could severely undermine the validity of
the methodology that the Federal Reserve has used to build the haircut percent-
ages in TALF.

To address these vulnerabilities, SIGTARP made a series of recommendations


in the April Quarterly Report. In summary form, SIGTARP recommended the
following:

• Treasury should impose strict conflicts-of-interest rules upon PPIF managers


that specifically address whether and to what extent the managers can (i) invest
PPIF funds in legacy assets that they hold or manage on behalf of themselves or
their clients or (ii) conduct PPIF transactions with entities in which they have
invested on behalf of themselves or others.
• Treasury should mandate transparency with respect to the participation and
management of PPIFs, including disclosure to Treasury of the beneficial owners
of all of the private equity stakes in the PPIFs, public disclosure of all transac-
tions undertaken in them, and reporting to Treasury on any and all holdings and
transactions in the same types of legacy assets on their own behalf or on behalf
of their clients.

• Treasury should not allow Legacy Securities PPIFs to invest in TALF unless
significant mitigating measures are included to address the increased dangers
presented by the interaction, such as prohibiting TARP lending if the PPIF in-
vests through TALF or proportionately increasing haircuts for PPIFs that do so.

Developments in the Design of the Legacy Securities


Program
Since the April Quarterly Report, Treasury has consulted with SIGTARP, consistent
with Treasury’s obligations under Section 402 of the Helping Families Save Their Section 402 of Helping Families Save
Homes Act of 2009 (the “Ensign-Boxer Amendment”), as it developed the details Their Homes Act of 2009 (“Ensign-

• provided SIGTARP with drafts of the PPIP term sheets and ethical standards
and conflicts-of-interest rules

As a result of these consultations, SIGTARP provided Treasury with both oral


feedback and written recommendations, suggestions, and comments, as reflected
in two letters dated June 10, 2009, and June 19, 2009 (collectively, the “SIGTARP
Letters”).
In the SIGTARP Letters, which are included in Appendix G, SIGTARP
made dozens of comments, ranging from recommendations concerning issues
174 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

fundamental to the design of PPIP to potential contract terms and other drafting
comments. As reflected in Treasury’s response to SIGTARP’s PPIP recom-
mendations, also included in Appendix G, Treasury has incorporated many of
the recommendations into the design of PPIP, and, as a result, the program has a
significantly improved compliance and fraud-prevention regime than that initially
proposed. The following are some of SIGTARP’s recommendations implemented
by Treasury:

• All of the PPIF managers will be required to be registered Investment Advisors

valuation, trading allocation, arm’s-length transactions, and personal trading.
• Treasury is requiring the PPIF managers to report to Treasury a list of all eligible
assets held or under consideration for purchase by a manager in both PPIF and
non-PPIF funds, including positions and valuations in all eligible assets across
the manager firm. Treasury will thus be able to analyze and compare holdings,
transactions, and valuations not only across all of the PPIFs but also across
all of the non-PPIF funds managed by PPIF firms. If implemented well, this
information could be a powerful tool to detect instances of conflicts of interest,
collusion, and improper asset valuation across the Legacy Securities Program.
• As recommended in the April Quarterly Report, Treasury has taken into ac-
count the leverage-on-leverage issues implicated by allowing PPIFs to access
TALF lending. Although Treasury and the Federal Reserve are permitting PPIFs

respect to the design of the PPIP Legacy Securities Program and has engaged
repeatedly with SIGTARP (and the Federal Reserve and FRBNY, for that mat-
ter) on the design of the compliance and anti-fraud provisions of PPIP.
2. Treasury has adopted a majority of SIGTARP’s recommendations, and the
design of the PPIP Legacy Securities Program has been vastly improved from a
compliance and anti-fraud perspective as compared to when the program was
initially described to SIGTARP.
3. However, disagreements remain, and SIGTARP believes that there remain
several fundamental vulnerabilities in the program on issues relating to conflicts
of interest and collusion, transparency, performance measures, and anti-money
laundering.

Ongoing Recommendations
Although Treasury has already identified the nine PPIF managers and released
term sheets detailing the basic framework of the PPIFs, final agreements have yet
to be drafted, and Treasury still has the opportunity to improve the program before
it is finally implemented. To that end, SIGTARP makes the following ongoing
and as yet unadopted recommendations regarding the design of the PPIP Legacy
Securities Program.

• PPIP Recommendation #1 — Strict Walls: SIGTARP continues to recom-


mend that Treasury require the imposition of strict information barriers or
“walls” between the PPIF managers making investment decisions on behalf of
the PPIF and those employees of the fund management company who man-
age non-PPIF funds. Treasury’s failure to do so thus far constitutes a material
deficiency in the program.

Treasury’s stated goal for PPIP is to “restart” the substantially frozen legacy
securities markets. By its design, PPIP will provide the PPIF managers significant
power to set prices for the legacy securities that they purchase in what Treasury has
described as an illiquid market. Under these circumstances, the trading decisions
of PPIF managers — using investment vehicles that are 75% funded by taxpayer
money — constitute valuable, proprietary, market-moving information. This price-
setting power and access to information that is unavailable to other participants in
the market (i.e., knowing what the PPIF will buy and at what price) could create
opportunities for several kinds of abuses by PPIF managers, including the incentive
to overpay for securities already held in the manager’s non-PPIP funds or to use
information about upcoming trading in PPIP to benefit its non-PPIF funds to the
176 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

detriment of the PPIF or to those participants in the market that were not selected
by Treasury to manage PPIF funds.
A common method of dealing with this situation in which proprietary informa-
tion in one part of a business could lead to improper advantages in another part
of the business is the imposition of strict information barriers or walls wherein
the market-moving information is insulated, or walled off, from the rest of the
firm through separation of employees, facilities, or technology and/or policies and
procedures limiting dissemination of the information. Here, SIGTARP believes that
the best practice would be to impose a wall similar to those imposed by FRBNY in
several of its financial crisis-related programs that would separate those individuals
making investment decisions for the PPIF from pertinent information concerning
non-PPIF funds, and vice-versa, but allowing fund managers to access the more
general expertise of the firm, such as market research. Such a wall should also
include information technology barriers, strict policies forbidding the dissemination
of PPIF information within the firm, and a rigorous compliance regime to ensure
enforcement of those policies. Thus, it would prohibit individuals making invest-
ment decisions for the PPIF from managing other funds involving eligible assets.
Treasury has refused to require walls in PPIP despite the fact that such walls
have been imposed upon asset managers in similar contexts in other Government
bailout-related programs, including by Treasury itself in other TARP-related activi-
ties. For example, walls between the asset managers working for the Government
and the rest of their firms are required in at least the following programs:

• FRBNY’s Agency MBS Purchase Program (involving Goldman Sachs, PIMCO,


BlackRock, Wellington)
• FRBNY’s Commercial Paper Funding Facility (PIMCO)
• FRBNY’s management of the Maiden Lane I, II, and III portfolios (BlackRock)
• In TALF, ethical walls are required for the collateral monitor that is tasked
with providing advice to FRBNY on MBS valuations, and primary dealers have
submitted conflict remediation plans that confirm that they have imposed walls
isolating their business units that interact with TALF
• Treasury’s management of assets obtained in TARP generally through financial
agents (AllianceBernstein, FSI, Piedmont)
• TARP’s Unlocking Credit for Small Businesses Program (“UCSB”) (Earnest
Partners)

Indeed, of the nine asset managers selected by Treasury to manage PPIFs, one-
third of them (BlackRock, Wellington, and AllianceBernstein) are already required
to operate walls in connection with other Government programs.
Notwithstanding the fact that walls are common when a firm has access to
information that it could use to the unfair advantage of others (i) in the industry
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 177

generally, (ii) in other Government bailout program contexts, (iii) in other TARP-
related programs, and (iv) with respect to at least some of the very firms that were
selected as PPIF managers, Treasury has “concluded that such an arrangement is
simply not practical in the context of PPIP.” In supporting this statement, Treasury
has explained its positions, which SIGTARP summarizes below:

1. Treasury first suggests that “[r]equiring a segregated investment team would be


likely to reduce investment performance of the PPIF,” arguing in particular that
a segregation would preclude the PPIF from gaining the expertise of a manager’s
“A Team” (the most experienced and talented managers at a company) and
would hinder “team-oriented” investment processes.

In this argument, Treasury seems to be suggesting that it can obtain either


talented managers or managers without inherent conflicts, but not both. Although
SIGTARP noted in the April Quarterly Report that there may be difficulty selecting
an experienced manager that is also non-conflicted, SIGTARP believes that such a
dichotomy offers a false choice. In light of the amount of taxpayer money being in-
vested in the PPIFs, Treasury should have the negotiating power to obtain compe-
tent and unconflicted management for the PPIFs. If a particular fund management
company cannot accommodate that basic requirement, then Treasury should reject
that company and retain one that can. Moreover, even if the dichotomy were as
Treasury describes, in light of the substantial risks that a non-segregated manager
presents to the taxpayer, to the PPIF private equity investors, and to the market as a
whole, SIGTARP submits that the program may very well be better served by com-
petent, non-conflicted personnel even if they do not fit into Treasury’s definition of
what would constitute an “A Team.”

2. Treasury next suggests that requiring segregated investment teams would actu-
ally increase risk “by limiting fund manager participation in the PPIP,” arguing
in particular that: many fund managers have indicated that they would withdraw
if required to use a segregated investment team and thus Treasury would have
to concentrate its investments in the hands of a few fund managers; requiring
segregation would “undermine protections against fund manager misconduct,”
because the team approach provides “checks and balances within the organi-
zation;” and implementing a wall would be time consuming, costly, and not
feasible for many firms.

To the extent that Treasury suggests that segregation would decrease participa-
tion and thus lead to increased reliance on a few managers, it is not convincing that
Treasury cannot find sufficient numbers of non-conflicted management compa-
nies to do the job. Again, Treasury, which has the power to adjust its eligibility
178 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

requirements for fund managers, should have sufficient bargaining power to


mandate appropriate segregation in a sufficient number of firms (more than one
hundred companies initially applied), particularly in light of the fact that three
of its nine PPIF managers already abide by such walls in connection with other
Government programs. In any event, even if segregation would lead to using fewer
or different kinds of firms, in light of the seriousness of the risks associated with
non-segregation of managers, it may well be that the program would be better
served by a substantially different mix of non-conflicted firms rather than the cur-
rent group of firms that are apparently unwilling to mitigate fully their conflicts.
To the extent that this argument suggests that a wall would somehow increase
the risk of misconduct by limiting detection opportunities among the “team,”
SIGTARP believes that such argument is without merit. Walls limit information
flow between investment decision makers on one side of the wall and investment
decision makers on the other; nothing about the institution of a wall minimizes
compliance scrutiny or general supervision. To accept Treasury’s argument might
suggest that Treasury and FRBNY are increasing the risk of misconduct in a whole
series of Government programs in which they require walls, including TARP-
related programs, a contention that SIGTARP squarely rejects. At their core, walls
or information barriers are designed to prevent an unfair benefit to the firm as a
whole; it is simply not persuasive to argue that wider dissemination of such confi-
dential, market-moving information would somehow reduce, rather than increase,
that risk.

3. Treasury suggests that requiring segregated investment teams is not neces-


sary, arguing in particular that (i) the PPIF managers “will not have material
non-public information from Treasury,” that Treasury is nothing but a passive
investor that will not be sharing its market views, and that the most analogous
FRBNY program is TALF, which does not involve similar segregation for TALF
borrowers; (ii) that the other mitigation procedures are sufficient; and (iii) that a
wall will not completely eliminate the risks of misconduct.

The first part of this argument does not address the core risks associated with
the market power being conveyed upon the individual fund managers. Although
there may be differences between the mechanics of some of the Government pro-
grams in which walls are required, they are distinctions without a difference. PPIP
is structured in such a way that its managers have the ability — through massive
amounts of taxpayer funds — to move, indeed, to set, prices in illiquid markets,
an ability they would not have absent the Government funds with which they are
being entrusted. That, in turn, makes information about PPIP transactions (what
securities will be bought, and for how much) extremely valuable, irrespective of
whether the decisions are being made by the PPIF manager or by Treasury, and
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 179

irrespective of whether the investment decision is based on the fund manager’s


analysis, proprietary Treasury information, or for that matter, by random chance.
Recently, a Treasury official, in explaining Treasury’s decision to require a wall for
those asset managers working for Treasury in connection with the CPP program,
stated that walls are commonly used when a party has access to “market-moving,”
proprietary information, such as Treasury’s decision to sell certain assets. In PPIP,
there can be no reasonable dispute that a PPIF manager’s decision to buy a par-
ticular MBS at a particular price with hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer
funds is market-moving, proprietary information. Moreover, Treasury’s argument
that the walls in other Government programs are designed to prevent the sharing
of the Government’s market views fails to address the strict walls that are required
by FRBNY for BlackRock in the Maiden Lane portfolios in which BlackRock has
discretion over the trading activities, much like the PPIF managers. Indeed, it is
worth noting that Treasury’s PPIP ethical standards recognize the value of this
information by imposing a rule that individual PPIF managers may not share their
purchase decisions with investors or other fund managers (even though the PPIF
managers themselves are permitted to manage other funds while having access to
this same information). The most straightforward and comprehensive protection
against the improper use of market-moving information is an effective wall.
Treasury’s citation to the fact that TALF borrowers need not establish walls is
also not persuasive. Individual TALF borrowers do not have the price-setting power
that PPIF managers will have, and TALF, unlike PPIF, was not designed so that any
single market participant would have the ability to set prices in an illiquid market.
A better comparison within TALF is the relationship with the new collateral moni-
tor (which provides certain valuation services to FRBNY), which is required to
maintain appropriate walls.
SIGTARP believes that Treasury’s next point — that the alternative mitigation
provisions in the program are sufficient — both underestimates the efficacy of walls
and overestimates the ability to predict the ways that a fund manager can devise
to take advantage of proprietary information. As noted above, Treasury is imposing
some significant provisions to mitigate the absence of a wall; the allocation policy,
for example, if properly implemented, should diminish the risk of “front running,”
i.e., using the PPIF trading information to buy securities at a relatively cheap price
before the PPIF purchases move the market in those securities. Similarly, requiring
the fund manager to have its own “skin in the game” will also help align its interests
with the taxpayers’ to a certain degree. These alone, however, are not sufficient.
Imagine a PPIF manager who is deciding which of 10 similar residential mortgage- Front Running: Entering into a trade
backed securities (“RMBS”) the PPIF will purchase. The fund manager knows while taking advantage of advance
that the PPIF purchase will significantly increase the market price of whichever knowledge of pending orders from
security is selected. With a wall in place, the manager should have every incentive other investors.
to purchase the best securities at the lowest prices. Without a wall, the manager
180 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

may already be managing a fund with a substantial position in one of those 10


RMBS, and thus the manager would have every incentive to buy only that security,
irrespective of quality, and at a price as high as possible in order to drive up the
non-PPIF fund performance and thus the manager’s own personal compensation.
There are currently no mitigation procedures to address this issue, and indeed,
there is nothing in place that would prevent a pre-approved manager from using
the time period between his selection and the launch of the program from building
a position in a security in non-PPIF funds with the intent of later using taxpayer
funds to drive up the price of the security (and therefore his personal compensa-
tion). Only by imposing a wall, and fully aligning the manager’s compensation with
the PPIF’s performance, can this danger be averted.
Even more fundamentally, a wall may provide some protection against the
myriad other ways in which information on one side of the wall or the other could
be used to generate illicit gains in non-PPIF funds. Can a creative manager make
a profit by trading in the equity of an institution from which a PPIF is purchasing
MBS? If a manager knows that the PPIF will be investing heavily in a particular
MBS, can that manager participate in a derivative transaction involving that same
security and thereby reap profits? Is there a member of the firm on the non-PPIF
side of the wall who is willing to sell proprietary PPIF trading information to an-
other firm? No one can answer these questions definitively, but one thing is certain:
a wall will likely decrease the risks of these and similar unpredictable bad scenarios.
If nothing else, the reputational risk that Treasury and the program face if a
PPIF manager generates massive profits in its non-PPIF funds as a result of an un-
fair informational advantage justifies the imposition of a wall. If this occurs, failure
to impose a wall, on the other hand, will leave Treasury vulnerable to an accusation
that has already been leveled against it by members of Congress and the media —
that Treasury is using TARP to pick winners and losers and that, by granting certain
firms the PPIF manager status, Treasury is benefiting a chosen few at the expense
of the dozens of firms that were rejected, the market as a whole, and the American
taxpayer. This reputational risk is not one that can be readily measured in dollars
and cents, but is a risk that could jeopardize what is left of the fragile trust the
American people have in TARP and, by extension, their Government. As FRBNY
has learned through developing its own programs, imposition of a wall is a small
price to pay to guard against such risk.

• PPIP Recommendation #2 — Disclosure of Trading Activities in the


PPIFs: SIGTARP recommends that Treasury periodically disclose PPIF trading
activity and require PPIF managers to disclose to SIGTARP, within seven days
of the close of the quarter, all trading activity, holdings, and valuations so that
SIGTARP may disclose such information, subject to reasonable protections, in
its quarterly reports.
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 181

As a matter of basic transparency, in light of the billions of dollars of taxpayer


equity and loans that provide the majority of funding for the PPIFs, the public
should be permitted to know, to the greatest extent possible, the activity and
holdings in the PPIFs. Such transparency not only dissuades misconduct and
promotes sound management, but also promotes a better public understanding
of PPIP and thus enhances the credibility of PPIP and TARP more broadly. Even
more importantly, the most significant investors in each PPIF, the American tax-
payers, have a right to know the status of their investments. The lack of transpar-
ency as to what use TARP funds were put by recipients in other TARP programs,
in SIGTARP’s view, has damaged the credibility of TARP and therefore may have
threatened its viability; Treasury should not repeat that apparent error with PPIP.
Moreover, disclosure of the PPIF transactions, and in particular the price at which
such transactions occur, would appear to be required to bring about the “price
discovery” that Treasury has claimed as one of the core purposes of PPIP. Failure
to provide transparency on trading prices and valuations creates a “tree falling in
the woods problem:” without such transparency, the market (other than the PPIF
managers themselves) is far less likely to “discover” market prices in a way that will
facilitate re-starting trading outside of Government-supported efforts.
Unfortunately, Treasury has stated that it will not require such disclosure “as
this would [do] harm to the fund’s operation by revealing competitive and propri-
etary information regarding the fund’s investment positions and strategy.” Instead,
Treasury intends to disclose no more than the bare minimum required by stat-
ute — disclosure of only the 10 largest positions held in each PPIF. SIGTARP is
cognizant of the fact that certain trading information may have, for a time, signifi-
cant proprietary value and is not advocating unreasonably premature disclosure.
However, Treasury’s default position should be in favor of disclosure in a manner
designed to promote price discovery in the legacy securities markets and to pro-
mote transparency. SIGTARP has expressed its willingness to work with Treasury
to find the right balance among the proprietary interests of the PPIF managers,
the public’s interests in transparency, and the broader market’s interests in price
discovery.
In light of Treasury’s refusal to publish this information, to meet a basic level
of transparency, and to meet SIGTARP’s statutory obligation to report to Congress
for the preceding quarter “all purchases” of troubled assets, “[a] list of the troubled
assets purchased,” and “the profit or loss incurred on each sale” of such assets,
SIGTARP intends to include in its quarterly report the identity of the securities
purchased, the purchase price, the amounts held, the sale prices, and the value
of the taxpayer’s positions, redacted as appropriate to avoid the dissemination of
any confidential information that could harm the PPIF investment.451 Although
Treasury has designed PPIP so that the troubled assets are technically its interests
182 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

in the PPIFs, and not the actual toxic assets they purchase, SIGTARP does not
believe that this absolves it from complying with the spirit, if not the letter, of its
EESA requirements. These categories of information are no different than that
typically disclosed on a periodic basis by mutual funds, for example, in SEC Forms
N-Q and N-CSR. To fulfill this role, and in order to keep constant SIGTARP’s
Quarterly Report production schedule of providing transparency with the shortest
delay possible, SIGTARP would need such data, along with any claims of confi-
dentiality, within seven days of the end of a quarter; Treasury has indicated that
delivery within 15 days would be “reasonable and consistent with industry prac-
tice.” Such a 15-day delivery would force SIGTARP to alter its scheduled issuance
of Quarterly Reports by more than a week. Unless delivery within seven days proves
impossible, “industry practice” should not interfere with timely transparency.

• PPIP Recommendation #3 — Performance Metrics and Removal of the


Manager: SIGTARP recommends that appropriate metrics be defined and an
evaluation system be put in place to monitor the effectiveness of the PPIF man-
agers, both to ensure that they are fulfilling the terms of their agreements and
to measure their performance. The conditions that would give Treasury “cause”
to remove a manager should be expanded to include a manager’s performance
below a certain standard benchmark, or if Treasury concludes that the manager
has materially violated compliance or ethical rules.

Treasury has indicated that it is in the process of developing appropriate


measurement metrics, and SIGTARP will monitor the progress on this issue. As
drafted, however, the provision in the term sheet relating to the removal of the
PPIF manager may significantly limit Treasury’s ability to remove a manager for
poor performance or even for other significant malfeasance. As drafted, for ex-
ample, Treasury may, in essence, only remove a manager with the consent of a
majority of the private equity interests or for “cause.” Cause includes a breach of
the capital contribution requirement or a formal (i.e., judicial) finding of fraud,
gross, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, securities law violation, or a con-
viction or guilty plea of a felony.452 To use an extreme example, if a fund manager is
arrested for stealing from Treasury’s equity portion of the PPIF for the benefit of its
private investors, Treasury could not remove that manager until the manager was
convicted (which could take years) unless a majority of the private equity investors
(who, in this example, are the beneficiaries of the crime) consent. In light of the
very significant role of TARP funds in the PPIFs, Treasury should obtain the ability
to remove managers unilaterally under appropriate circumstances.

• PPIP Recommendation #4 — Disclosure of Holdings and Transactions in


Related Assets: SIGTARP recommends that Treasury require fund managers to
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 183

disclose to Treasury, as part of the Watch List process outlined in the PPIP term
sheet, not only information about holdings in eligible assets but also holdings in
related assets or exposures to related liabilities.

As discussed previously in this section, at SIGTARP’s suggestion, Treasury is


requiring PPIF managers to disclose to Treasury information about holdings in
eligible assets not only in the PPIF but also in the managers’ non-PPIF funds. This
is a very substantial step in the right direction and will be, if implemented properly,
a powerful tool to detect issues arising from conflicts of interest, collusion, and im-
proper valuation. Treasury, however, has so far refused to require reporting beyond
eligible assets, and SIGTARP views this as a significant limitation. There are many
asset types or liability exposures that could be held in a manager’s non-PPIF fund
whose value is predictably tied to eligible assets and thus should be disclosed. For
example, credit default swaps or other derivative products could change in value
based upon a manager’s PPIF investment decisions. Treasury should require disclo-
sure about any such assets or potential liabilities.

• PPIP Recommendation #5 — Beneficial Ownership Issues: Treasury should


require PPIF managers to obtain and maintain information about the beneficial
ownership of all of the private equity interests, and Treasury should have the
unilateral ability to prohibit participation of private equity investors.

To its credit, Treasury has adopted many of the anti-money laundering and
“Know Your Customer” suggestions made by SIGTARP. However, two significant
issues remain. First, although PPIF managers must provide Treasury with all infor-
mation in their possession with respect to beneficial ownership of the private equity
interests, those rights are meaningless unless managers are required to obtain and
maintain such information in the first instance. Treasury should make that obliga-
tion explicit. Moreover, Treasury should insist upon the unilateral right to prohibit
participation of certain private investors. The resources to screen investors that
are available to the managers simply do not match the resources of Treasury. If the
Government finds that a potential investor is the subject of a criminal investigation,
for example, that fact might not be discoverable by the manager or discloseable by
Treasury. The terrible toll on the program resulting from participation by organized
crime, terrorists, or fraudsters mandates that Treasury have unilateral authority to
prohibit participation without explanation.
184 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

CONTINUED USE OF RATINGS AGENCIES IN TALF


SIGTARP made a series of recommendations to Treasury with respect to its par-
ticipation in the implementation of TALF in both its Initial Report and its April
Quarterly Report. Because the recommendations impact the Federal Reserve and
FRBNY as the primary implementers of TALF, since January, SIGTARP has been
in regular contact with the Federal Reserve and FRBNY to discuss those recom-
mendations and the TALF compliance and anti-fraud regime more generally. The
Federal Reserve and FRBNY have engaged constructively in those discussions,
have adopted many of the recommendations, and have independently developed
additional protections. As a result, TALF’s design is far better, from a compliance
and anti-fraud perspective, than it was when the program was first announced.
The status of the implementation of SIGTARP’s recommendations is set forth
in Table 5.1 later in this section, and two letters from the Federal Reserve to the
Special Inspector General describing plans for bolstering the protections in con-
nection with the expansion of TALF to commerical mortgage-backed securities
(“CMBS”), dated May 5, 2009, and May 22, 2009, are included in Appendix G:
“Correspondance Regarding SIGTARP Recommendations.”
In the April Quarterly Report, one of SIGTARP’s recommendations was that,
with respect to the potential expansion of TALF to legacy RMBS, rating agency
determinations should be dispensed with and a security-by-security screening for
each legacy RMBS be implemented instead. Although the decision of whether
RMBS will be permitted to be used as collateral in TALF is still under consider-
ation, the Federal Reserve and FRBNY have informed SIGTARP that, in designing
the TALF provisions relating to CMBS, they have taken several steps to reduce the
importance of ratings from the credit rating agencies in determining the eligibility
of CMBS. For example, FRBNY has engaged a collateral monitor that will assist
it in excluding high-risk CMBS regardless of its rating. Although these measures
represent a significant improvement of TALF, ratings from credit rating agencies
remain an important, although not exclusive, asset-eligibility prerequisite in TALF:
newly issued ABS must receive a AAA rating from two of three credit rating agen-
cies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings) and not
have a rating of less than AAA from the third agency. For newly issued CMBS, a
AAA rating is required from two of five eligible agencies (adding DBRS Inc. and
Realpoint LLC) and, again, no lower rating from the other three can exist.
Since SIGTARP’s April Quarterly Report, there have been several developments
that raise additional concerns about TALF’s use of ratings agencies. Most ratings
agencies, by the nature of their business model, have inherent conflicts of interest
— they are paid by the issuers of the very securities that they are rating. As a result,
the agency has an incentive to issue a high rating to attract future business from
that issuer. As one commentator recently characterized the conflict, it would be as
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 185

if Hollywood studios paid movie critics to review their films: any individual critic
would have a strong incentive to give a particular film a good review, even if it was
terrible, out of fear that the studio would not give the critic future business. This
inherent conflict played out with disastrous consequences in the recent credit crisis
in which AAA ratings for many MBS, in particular certain classes of RMBS, had
little or no relation to the creditworthiness of the securities.
Over the last quarter, there has been reporting that these conflicts may be
impacting TALF. For example, Moody’s Investors Services (“Moody’s”), one of the
major agencies that has been qualified to rate all TALF securities, has complained
of a “race to the bottom,” in which issuers are selecting other agencies to rate TALF
securities because they are employing lower standards and therefore are more likely
to give a potential TALF security the necessary AAA rating. Although SIGTARP has
not yet undertaken any independent review of Moody’s claims, its complaints fur-
ther highlight the dangers of relying on these inherently conflicted institutions. The
expansion from three to five of the number of rating agencies from which the issuer
may obtain ratings with respect to newly issued CMBS (albeit with one, Realpoint,
that does not receive payment from issuers), without an increase in the number of
AAA ratings required, has the potential of giving issuers more incentives and oppor-
tunities to take advantage of the conflicts inherent in the ratings process.

Recommendation
• SIGTARP recommends that Treasury and FRBNY examine Moody’s assertions
and develop mechanisms to ensure that acceptance of collateral in TALF is
not unduly influenced by the improper incentives to overrate that exist among
the rating agencies. This may include further limiting the importance of credit
ratings in TALF eligibility decisions, continuing to develop alternative methods
of evaluating the creditworthiness of TALF collateral, and/or proportionally
increasing the number of required AAA ratings from credit agencies whenever
there is an increase in the number of eligible agencies.

In response to this recommendation, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it


has discussed these concerns with the rating agencies and will continue to develop
and enhance its risk management tools and processes as it refines the design of the
expanded TALF.
186 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM

REQUIRING RECIPIENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR USE


OF TARP FUNDS
From its inception, SIGTARP has advocated that, as a matter of fundamental
transparency, Treasury should require TARP recipients to disclose what they have
been able to do with TARP funds, and SIGTARP has made formal recommenda-
tions along these lines in both its Initial Report and its April Quarterly Report.
With the exception of mandating such reporting in a few of the extraordinary as-
sistance agreements — most notably the Citigroup and Bank of America Targeted
Investment Program (“TIP”) agreements and Treasury’s recent agreement with
American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) — Treasury has refused to adopt this
recommendation, arguing that the fungible nature of money would make such
reports not “meaningful.” Treasury instead decided to track the effects of the TARP
funds by measuring institutions’ lending over time.
As a result of Treasury’s refusal to require reporting more broadly on actual
TARP fund use, SIGTARP decided to undertake the task itself by conducting a
survey of more than 360 institutions that had received TARP funds through the
end of January 2009. The results of the survey demonstrate that, despite the inher-
ent fungibility of money, financial institutions are capable of providing at least basic
narrative descriptions of how they used TARP funds. Although most banks reported
that they did not segregate or track TARP fund usage on a dollar-for-dollar basis,
they were able to provide insights into their actual or planned use of TARP funds;
indeed, more than 98% of survey recipients reported their actual uses of TARP
funds. Moreover, the results show that institutions commonly have used TARP
funds in ways that will not immediately or directly register on a bank’s lending re-
port. In addition to activities that would directly lead to lending, for example, banks
reported that TARP funds have been used in these ways:

• to increase capital cushions to absorb unexpected losses


• to purchase mortgage-backed securities, thus not resulting in lending by the
bank itself, but supporting lending by other institutions in the MBS pipeline
• to pay down debt, thus de-leveraging the bank’s balance sheet and improving its
ability to withstand further economic downturn
• to acquire other banks

All of these activities could be, depending on the circumstances, considered


commercially reasonable, yet would not necessarily be captured by Treasury’s lend-
ing surveys.

Treasury’s reasons for refusing to adopt this recommendation have been


QUARTERLY REPORT TO CONGRESS I JULY 21, 2009 187

squarely refuted by SIGTARP’s audit results and are belied by Treasury’s own
inclusion of use of funds provisions in its agreements with AIG, Bank of America,
and Citigroup. Further, the claim that the information provided by banks would be
“unreliable” is contradicted both by the threat of criminal penalty should a bank
be untruthful to Treasury, and Treasury’s reliance on self-reporting throughout its
compliance regime. Imposition of a condition designed to foster basic transparency
should not be used as a punitive measure required of only those institutions that
are compelled to seek extraordinary assistance, but rather should be an integral
feature of TARP as a whole.

Ongoing Recommendation
• To improve transparency over the use of funds, SIGTARP continues to recom-
mend that the Treasury Secretary require TARP recipients to submit periodic
reports to Treasury on their use of funds, including what they were able to do
with their TARP funds, such as lending, investments, acquisitions, and other
activities that they could not have conducted without TARP funding. SIGTARP
also recommends that the Treasury Secretary require TARP recipients to retain
all supporting documentation in conjunction with any reporting requirement
that Treasury may impose.

TRACKING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF


RECOMMENDATIONS IN PREVIOUS REPORTS
SIGTARP has now made dozens of individual recommendations, and updating
compliance of each one in narrative form is quickly becoming impractical. The
following table, Table 5.1, summarizes SIGTARP’s prior recommendations, gives an
indication of SIGTARP’s view of the level of implementation to date, and provides
a brief explanation for that view where necessary. For more details on the recom-
mendations, readers are directed to the Initial Report and April Quarterly Report.
Treasury’s views on the level of implementation of the recommendations are set
forth in a letter to the Special Inspector General dated July 2, 2009, which is in-
cluded in Appendix G: “Correspondence Regarding SIGTARP Recommendations.”

financial system by providing capital to viable financial institutions of all sizes throughout the
nation. With a strengthened capital base, financial institutions have an increased capacity to
lend to U.S. businesses and consumers and to support the U.S. economy.
CAP: The purpose of the CAP is to restore confidence throughout the financial system that
the nation’s largest banking institutions have a sufficient capital cushion against larger than
expected future losses, should they occur due to a more severe economic environment, and
to support lending to creditworthy borrowers.
SSFI: Systemically Significant Failing Institution Program (SSFI) was established to provide
stability and prevent disruptions to financial markets from the failure of institutions that are
critical to the functioning of the nation’s financial system.
AGP: The Asset Guarantee Program (AGP) provides government assurances for assets held
by financial institutions that are critical to the functioning of the nation’s financial system,
which face a risk of losing the critical confidence that is needed for them to continue to lend
to other banks.
TIP: Treasury created the Targeted Investment Program (TIP) to stabilize the financial system
by making investments in institutions that are critical to the functioning of the financial sys-
tem. This program focuses on the complex relationships and reliance of institutions within
the financial system. Investments made through the TIP seek to avoid significant market
disruptions resulting from the deterioration of one financial institution that can threaten other
financial institutions and impair broader financial markets and pose a threat to the overall
economy.
TALF: The TALF is designed to increase credit availability and support economic activity by
facilitating renewed issuance of consumer and small business ABS at more normal interest
rate spreads… Under the TALF, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) will provide
non-recourse funding to any eligible borrower owning eligible collateral... The U.S. Treasury’s
Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) will purchase $20 billion of subordinated debt in
an SPV created by the FRBNY. The SPV will purchase and manage any assets received by
the FRBNY in connection with any TALF loans. Residual returns from the SPV will be shared
between the FRBNY and the U.S. Treasury.

PPIP: To address the challenge of legacy assets, Treasury – in conjunction with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve – has announced the Public-Private
Investment Program as part of its efforts to repair balance sheets throughout our financial
system and ensure that credit is available to the households and businesses, large and
small, that will help drive us toward recovery... Using $75 to $100 billion in TARP capital
and capital from private investors, the Public-Private Investment Program will generate $500
billion in purchasing power to buy legacy assets – with the potential to expand to $1 trillion
over time.
UCSB: The Treasury Department will begin making direct purchases of securities backed by
SBA loans to get the credit market moving again, and it will stand ready to purchase new
securities to ensure that community banks and credit unions feel confident in extending new
loans to local businesses.
AIFP: The objective of the Automotive Industry Financing Program (AIFP) is to prevent a sig-
nificant disruption of the American automotive industry, which would pose a systemic risk to
financial market stability and have a negative effect on the economy of the United States...
Treasury has issued loans to the automobile industry and received warrants, which are a
form of equity in a company, in return. Treasury’s loans to the automobile industry are work-
ing to stabilize the financial system by addressing these companies’ short term needs, while
providing them enough time to craft restructuring plans that will help them achieve viability.
ASSP: [ASSP] will provide up to $5 billion in financing, giving suppliers the confidence they
need to continue shipping parts, pay their employees and continue their operations.
AWCP: The Treasury Department announced an innovative new program to give consumers
who are considering new car purchases the confidence that even in this difficult economic
period, their warrantees will be honored. This program is part of the Administration’s
broader program to stabilize the auto industry and stand behind a restructuring effort that
will result in stronger, more competitive and viable American car companies.
HAMP (a program under MHA): The Home Affordable Modification program has a simple
goal: reduce the amount homeowners owe per month to sustainable levels to stabilize
communities. This program will bring together lenders, investors, servicers, borrowers,
and the government, so that all stakeholders share in the cost of ensuring that responsible
homeowners can afford their monthly mortgage payments – helping to reach up to 3 to 4
million at-risk borrowers in all segments of the mortgage market, reducing foreclosures, and
helping to avoid further downward pressures on overall home prices.

APPENDIX D I TRANSACTION DETAIL I JULY 21, 2009

Notes: Numbers affected by rounding. Data as of 6/30/2009. Numbered notes taken from Treasury’s 7/2/2009 Transactions Report containing data as of 6/30/2009.
1
This transaction was included in previous Transaction Reports with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. listed as the qualifying institution and a 10/28/2008 transaction date, footnoted to indicate that settlement was deferred pending merger. The purchase of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America was completed on 1/1/2009, and
this transaction under the CPP was funded on 1/9/2009.
2
Privately-held qualified financial institution; Treasury received a warrant to purchase additional shares of preferred stock (unless the institution is a CDFI), which it exercised immediately.
3
To promote community development financial institutions (CDFIs), Treasury does not require warrants as part of its investment in certified CDFIs when the size of the investment is $50 million or less.
4
Repayment pursuant to Title VII, Section 7001(g) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
5
Redemption pursuant to a qualified equity offering.
6
This amount does not include accrued and unpaid dividends, which must be paid at the time of capital repayment.
7
The proceeds associated with the disposition of this investment do not include accrued and unpaid dividends.
8
Subchapter S corporation; Treasury received a warrant to purchase additional subordinated debentures (unless the institution is a CDFI), which it exercised immediately.
9
In its qualified equity offering, this institution raised more capital than Treasury’s original investment, therefore, the number of Treasury’s shares underlying the warrant was reduced by half.
10
This institution participated in the expansion of CPP for small banks.
11
Treasury has three separate investments in Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) under CPP, TIP, and AGP for a total of $50 billion. On 6/9/2009, Treasury entered into an agreement with Citigroup to exchange up to $12.5 billion of Treasury’s investment in Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series H (CPP
Shares) “dollar for dollar” in Citigroup’s Private Exchange Offering. The closing of the Exchange is contingent on specified closing conditions, including regulatory approvals or waivers and the concurrent consummation of the other private shareholders’ exchange. Treasury will initially exchange the CPP shares for
Series M Common Stock Equivalent (“Interim Stock”) and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock. Series M automatically converts to common stock and the associated warrant terminates upon receipt of certain shareholder approvals.
12
As stated in Footnote 11, on 6/9/2009, Treasury entered into an agreement with Citigroup to exchange Treasury’s total investment. In addition to the conditions in Footnote 11, Treasury’s investment in Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series H (CPP Shares) will be exchanged “dollar for dollar” up
to $25 billion as a result of Citigroup’s Private and Public Exchange Offerings. The closing of the Public Exchange is contingent on specified closing conditions, including regulatory approvals or waivers and the concurrent consummation of the other public shareholders’ exchange. Treasury will initially exchange the
CPP shares for Series M Common Stock Equivalent (“Interim Stock”) and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock. Series M automatically converts to common stock and the associated warrant terminates upon receipt of certain shareholder approvals. If any CPP Shares remain following the Private and Public
Exchanges, Treasury will exchange those remaining CPP shares “dollar for dollar” for Trust Preferred Securities.
a
According to Treasury, “If a Share Dividend is declared on a common stock of a bank in which Treasury holds outstanding warrants, Treasury is entitled to additional warrants. The ‘Update’ netted is the amount of new warrant shares that have been received as a result of the corporate action.” Strike price and current
number of outstanding warrants reflect these updates.
b
Also according to Treasury, First Niagara Corporation, Iberiabank Corporation, and State Street Corporation executed Qualified Equity Offerings which “reduce the number of outstanding warrants held by Treasury.”
c
Treasury made two investments in SunTrust. Since the dividends could not be allocated between the transactions, they are presented with the first investment for purposes of this schedule.
d
According to Treasury, “Provident was purchase by M&T Bank (a public institution). Treasury is currently in the process of swapping the warrants issued by Provident for warrants issued by M&T Bank.”
e
When a warrant’s current market price rises above the strike price, it is considered “In the Money,” otherwise it is considered “Out of the Money.” For this table, the stock price and market capitalization are as of 6/30/2009. Negative number indicates “Out of the Money.”

On 4/17/2009, Treasury exchanged its Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares for Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Shares with no change to Treasury’s initial investment amount. In addition, in order for AIG to fully redeem the Series E
Preferred Shares, it has an additional obligation to Treasury of $1,604,576,000 to reflect the cumulative unpaid dividends for the Series D Preferred Shares due to Treasury through and including the exchange date.
2
The investment price reflects Treasury’s commitment to invest up to $30 billion less a reduction of $165 million representing retention payments AIG Financial Products made to its employees in March 2009.
3
This transaction does not include AIG’s commitment fee of an additional $165 million scheduled to be paid from its operating income in three equal installments over the five-year life of the facility.
a
AIG executed a 1 for 20 reverse stock split on 6/30/2009, therefore the market data and warrant data reflects this adustment.
